1.
Heat the oven to 425°F and line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment. Shuck 2 ears Bi-color Corn and cut the kernels from the cobs. Halve 8 ounces Organic Sungold Cherry Tomatoes. Thinly slice 2 green onions, keeping the white and green parts separate.
-
2.
Make the miso glaze by whisking together:
- 1 1/2 tablespoons white miso
- 1 tablespoon mirin
- 1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoon unseasoned rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
Set the glaze aside.
-
3.
Toss the corn kernels, tomatoes, and sliced green-onion whites on the prepared pan with 2 teaspoons neutral cooking oil, 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Spread them into an even layer and roast for 10 minutes.
-
4.
Pat 12 ounces King Salmon Fillet dry and season it with 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt. Brush the salmon with 1 teaspoon neutral cooking oil, then coat the top and sides with the miso glaze.
-
5.
Stir the vegetables and push them toward the edges of the pan. Place the salmon in the center, skin-side down if it has skin. Roast for 10 to 14 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily and reaches 145°F in its thickest portion.
-
6.
Transfer the salmon to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes. Stir 1 tablespoon unsalted butter into the hot corn and tomatoes until melted and glossy.
-
7.
Divide the buttery corn and tomatoes between two shallow plates. Top with the salmon, then garnish with the sliced green-onion greens and 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds.
