Instructions
 

Miso-Ginger Sauce

  • First thing first, let's make the Miso-Ginger Sauce. Whisk the first 5 ingredients for the Miso-Ginger Sauce in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk in the oil, a little bit at a time, until emulsified. Season with Salt and Pepper to taste and set aside.

Cook the Salmon and Vegetables

  • Preheat the oven to 450F.
  • Heat a medium cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Rub pieces of Salmon with 1 Tbsp of oil. While on a plate, salt the skin side. When pan is hot, add remaining 2 Tbsp of oil. Add Salmon fillets, skin side-down. Salt other side of Salmon and cook for for 5 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side for 3 minutes. Remove Salmon from pan and set on a plate, skin side-up.

    Snap Peas and Asparagus
  • Remove pan from heat, add Salmon on top of Vegetables, skin side-up and put the skillet into the preheated oven for 2-3 minutes, just to ensure that the Salmon is warm upon serving. Remove from oven and top with Green Onion.
