Flaky salmon fillets are brushed with a savory-sweet miso glaze and roasted alongside a medley of colorful, seasonal root vegetables. This dish is a flavorful and healthy weeknight dinner option, taking inspiration from Chinese flavors.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, toss the carrots, sweet potato, red onion, and Brussels sprouts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Roast the vegetables for 20 minutes.
While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the miso glaze. In a small saucepan, whisk together the miso paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic over medium heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly thickened and smooth. Remove from heat.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Place the salmon fillets on the baking sheet alongside the vegetables. Brush the salmon fillets generously with the miso glaze.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for another 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature of the salmon should reach 145°F (63°C).
Drizzle the remaining olive oil over vegetables, toss, and roast an additional 5 minutes, or until tender.
Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions (optional). Serve immediately.

Feel free to substitute other seasonal root vegetables such as parsnips, turnips, or beets.
For a spicier glaze, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the miso marinade.
To prevent sticking, line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
Broil the salmon for the last 1-2 minutes for a more caramelized glaze, but watch carefully to prevent burning.
