Meet your new go-to for busy weeknights and an elegant option for a cozy date night: sheet pan miso glazed salmon with roasted broccoli. It comes together in about 30 minutes on a single sheet pan, which means minimal cleanup and maximum flavor.
This dish pairs perfectly roasted, slightly crisp broccoli with tender, flaky salmon coated in a sticky, savory-sweet miso glaze. The glaze balances miso paste, soy sauce (or tamari/coconut aminos for gluten-free), sesame oil, grated ginger, garlic, and honey. The honey gives the glaze its glossy, almost candy-like finish that clings to the salmon during roasting.
The contrast of textures and flavors is what makes this recipe so satisfying: the rich, nutty-salty glaze on the salmon, the delicate flake of the fish, and that caramelized broccoli that practically melts in your mouth. It’s an effortless recipe that still feels special.
The recipe is naturally gluten-free if you substitute tamari or coconut aminos for regular soy sauce, and it’s dairy-free. Salmon is also a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, which support brain health and contribute to healthy skin and hair—another reason this dish is such a win.
Whether you’re cooking for two on a weeknight or preparing a simple, impressive meal for a special evening, this sheet pan miso salmon delivers. It’s one of those recipes that’s easy to make yet impressive to serve. A small amount of prep leads to a big payoff at the table.

Ingredients
- Broccoli
- 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
- 1.5 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Miso glaze & salmon
- 3 tablespoons miso paste (any variety)
- 2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari/coconut aminos for gluten-free)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic, pressed or minced
- 1 inch fresh ginger, grated
- Optional: 1 teaspoon sriracha for heat
- 12 ounces salmon, cut into fillets (wild-caught when possible)
- Optional toppings
- Sesame seeds
- 1 green onion, sliced
- Red pepper flakes, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat: Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare the broccoli by cutting into florets.
- Roast the broccoli: Toss the broccoli florets with olive or avocado oil, and season with salt and pepper. Spread them in an even layer on a large sheet pan. Roast for 10 minutes.
- Make the miso glaze: While the broccoli roasts, combine miso paste, soy sauce (or substitute), honey, sesame oil, garlic, grated ginger, and sriracha if using. Whisk until smooth. Reserve 1/4 cup of the glaze and set it aside.
- Prepare the salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Trim a piece of parchment paper to fit under the salmon on the sheet pan.
- Finish roasting: After the broccoli has roasted 10 minutes, move it to one side of the sheet pan (do not flip). Place the parchment and salmon on the other side. Spread the remaining glaze over the salmon. Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for 10–12 more minutes, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Thin the reserved glaze: Stir 1–2 tablespoons of water into the reserved 1/4 cup glaze until it becomes a pourable, thick sauce suitable for drizzling over the broccoli.
- Serve: Plate the salmon with the roasted broccoli. Sprinkle the salmon with sesame seeds, sliced green onion, and red pepper flakes if desired. Drizzle the thinned miso sauce over the broccoli and serve immediately.
Enjoy a flavorful, healthy meal that feels special without a lot of fuss. This sheet pan miso glazed salmon with broccoli is perfect for weeknights, small dinner parties, or any night you want a restaurant-quality meal at home with minimal cleanup.
