Miso, soy sauce and honey make a savory-sweet, umami-rich marinade for meaty, fat-rich salmon. Some of the mixture is set aside and combined with orange juice and zest, creating a savory-sweet sauce for drizzling over the finished dish. While the fish marinates, the Broccolini gets a head start on roasting. Then once the quick-cooking salmon is added, the traybake is nearly done. Serve with steamed rice, and perhaps a leafy green salad alongside.

Ingredients
  • 2

    tablespoons white OR red miso

  • 2

    tablespoons soy sauce

  • 2

    tablespoons honey

  • 3

    tablespoons neutral oil, divided

  • 4

    6-ounce center-cut salmon fillets (1 to 1¼ inches thick), patted dry

  • 1

    tablespoon grated orange zest, plus 2 tablespoons orange juice

  • 1

    pound Broccolini, trimmed OR broccoli crowns, cut into 1-inch florets

  • Kosher salt and ground black pepper

Step 1

Heat the oven to 425°F with a rack in the middle position. In a small bowl, whisk together the miso, soy sauce, honey and 1 tablespoon oil. Transfer half of the mixture to a wide, shallow dish; add the salmon skin-side up and set aside. Stir the orange zest and juice into the mixture remaining in the bowl; set aside.

Step 2

On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the Broccolini with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Distribute in an even layer, then roast until beginning to brown at the edges, about 15 minutes.

Step 3

Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Using a wide metal spatula, scrape up and flip the Broccolini, pushing it to the edges. Add the salmon, skin-side down, to the center of the baking sheet. Roast until the fish flakes easily and the Broccolini is lightly charred and tender-crisp, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a platter and drizzle with the miso-orange sauce.

Step 4

Optional garnish: Toasted sesame oil OR toasted sesame seeds OR sliced scallions OR red pepper flakes OR a combination
