A simple recipe for Baked Miso Salmon with Spring Peas – a fast and healthy weeknight dinner that can be made in under 25 minutes.

Hello friends, happy spring! This Japanese-inspired, spring dinner is perfect for busy weeknights when time is short. The salmon can be marinated ahead of time for an even speedier supper, and the peas cook just as fast as the salmon, making them ideal partners. (If you can’t find fresh peas, edamame is a terrific substitute.) Make a double batch of the marinade, saving half for another use (think chicken breast, shrimp, or tofu filets) for later on down the week.

Both snap peas and spring peas are featured in the recipe and know that you can find fresh shucked peas at many upscale markets and Trader Joes. If fresh peas are not an option where you live, substitute shelled edamame, a great alternative.

Hope you enjoy!

Ingredients

Ginger Miso Marinade:

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1/4 cup Mirin
2 tablespoons miso paste
1 tablespoon brown sugar, honey or maple
1 teaspoon grated ginger

—–

2 x 4-6 ounces pieces of salmon ( or black cod or sea bass)
pinch salt and pepper
1 teaspoon orange zest- optional
1 cup fresh shelled spring peas ( or sub frozen peas or shelled edamame)
2 cups fresh snow or snap peas

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400F

Place marinade ingredients in a very small sauce pan over med-low heat on the stove. Warm gently, whisking until smooth. Remove from heat. ( You don’t want this to cook, just to gently warm to help incorporate the miso.)

On a parchment-lined sheet pan, to one side, place the spring peas and snap peas. Pat the salmon dry and brush liberally with the marinade on both sides. Season with salt and pepper and a little fresh orange zest.

Drizzle the remaining marinade over the peas and give a quick toss.

Bake 10-15, or until desired doneness, keeping in mind thicker cuts of salmon will take longer, thinner cuts shorter.

Divide both peas among two bowls, top each with a piece of salmon.

Garnish with scallions & sesame seeds.

Wow! This was SO good! I followed the recipe exactly (edamame version), down to the scallions and sesame seeds. The orange zest was genius. We LOVED this. The only tweak—addition, really—was to add a bed of quinoa underneath it all, because we were hungry. 15 minutes in the oven was perfect. My boyfriend declared it his new favorite salmon and requested it for guests next week.
