Instructions
- Prep: Heat oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with foil (optional) and lightly oil it. Halve/quarter 12 oz gold potatoes and trim 8ā10 oz asparagus (snap off woody ends).
- Roast potatoes: Toss the 12 oz potatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Spread cut-side down on the sheet pan. Roast 18ā20 minutes, until browned and nearly tender.
- Make miso glaze: In a small bowl, whisk 1 tbsp white/yellow miso (pantry), 1 tbsp soy sauce (pantry), 1 tbsp honey or brown sugar (pantry), 1 tbsp lemon juice (from the 1 lemon), 1 tsp lemon zest, 1 tsp grated fresh ginger (optional; pantry), and 1 tsp grated/minced garlic (from the 2 cloves).
- Add salmon + asparagus: Push potatoes to one side. Add the 8ā10 oz asparagus to the other side and toss with 1 tsp olive oil and a pinch of salt. Place 12 oz salmon on the pan, skin-side down if applicable.
- Glaze + finish: Brush or spoon most of the miso glaze over the salmon (save a little for serving). Roast 8ā12 minutes more, until salmon flakes easily (125ā130°F for medium). If you want extra caramelization, broil 1ā2 minutes at the endāwatch closely.
- Serve: Plate salmon with potatoes and asparagus. Spoon the reserved glaze over the salmon and add lemon wedges from the remaining lemon to squeeze at the table.
Health notes: ~750ā900 calories per serving (depends on oil/butter). High protein and omega-3s (salmon), lots of fiber and potassium (potatoes/asparagus). Moderate sodium from miso/soyāuse low-sodium if youāre watching salt.
Drink pairing: Look for wines that echo the misoās savory-sweetness and the salmonās richness. Best styles Dry Riesling (WA is world-class here): the acidity cuts the glaze and lifts the asparagus Pinot Gris: pear/citrus notes play great with miso + lemon Unoaked Chardonnay: a softer, round match without fighting the umami Washington picks (if available) Chateau Ste.
