Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Vegetables
- 4 fresh skin-on salmon fillets
- 4 cups broccoli florets
Miso Butter Sauce
- 1/4 cup plant-based butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons natural miso paste
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon natural lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon natural vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
Additional Flavorings
- 1/4 cup smoked turkey bacon, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare your broccoli and salmon: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread them evenly on a large sheet pan. Pat salmon fillets dry, season with salt and pepper, and nestle them among the broccoli.
- Make the miso butter: In a small bowl, combine softened plant-based butter, natural miso paste, minced garlic, natural lemon juice, and natural vegetarian Worcestershire sauce. Stir thoroughly until creamy and well blended.
- Apply the miso butter and add smoked turkey bacon: Spread a generous spoonful of the miso butter over each salmon fillet. Sprinkle the chopped smoked turkey bacon evenly over both the broccoli and salmon for added smoky crunch.
- Roast everything together: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and broccoli edges turn golden and crisp.
- Serve and enjoy: Remove the pan from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Serve the salmon and broccoli while hot, spooning any melted miso butter from the pan over the top for maximum flavor.
Notes
- Choose broccoli florets and salmon pieces of similar sizes for even cooking.
- Allow salmon to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before roasting to achieve even cooking.
- Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure proper roasting and crispness.
- Use softened plant-based butter for best blending with miso and other flavors; avoid melting it.
- For extra crunchy broccoli, broil the dish for the last 2 minutes closely monitoring to prevent burning.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; flavors deepen overnight.
- Cooked leftovers can be frozen for up to 1 month in a sealed freezer-safe container. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating gently.
- Reheat in the oven at 300°F (150°C) until warmed through to maintain moisture and crispness.
