Ingredients
Vegetables
- 1 medium-large globe eggplant, cut into ~1-inch x 1-inch cubes (about 545 g or 6 ½ cups)
- 1 bunch broccolini (or 3 cups (~160 g) broccoli florets)
Sauce & Glaze
- 2 Tbsp white miso paste (or chickpea miso, ensure gluten-free as needed)
- 1 Tbsp tamari or soy sauce (ensure gluten-free as needed)
- 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 ½ Tbsp minced fresh ginger
- 1 Tbsp chili garlic sauce (or 2 tsp minced garlic + 1 tsp red pepper flakes)
- 2 tsp honey or maple syrup
Protein
- 3 (~4-oz each) skin-on salmon filets
Other
- 2-3 Tbsp olive or avocado oil (divided)
- Optional for serving: grain of choice (white rice, brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice)
Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the cubed eggplant in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with 1-2 tablespoons of olive or avocado oil, and toss to coat. Spread the eggplant evenly on a large sheet pan.
- Make the miso glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, tamari or soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced ginger, chili garlic sauce, and honey or maple syrup until smooth and well combined.
- Roast the eggplant: Place the sheet pan with eggplant in the oven and roast for about 15 minutes until the eggplant starts to soften and brown slightly.
- Add broccolini and salmon: Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Add the broccolini to the pan, drizzle with a little olive oil, and toss gently to combine with eggplant. Place the salmon filets skin-side down on the sheet pan, spacing them evenly.
- Glaze the salmon: Spoon or brush the miso glaze generously over the salmon filets, making sure to coat the tops and sides.
- Roast everything together: Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for another 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, and the broccolini is tender and slightly crisp.
- Serve: Serve the miso-glazed salmon and veggies over your choice of cooked grain like white rice, brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
Notes
- If using broccoli florets instead of broccolini, add them sooner with the eggplant as they take longer to soften.
- Chickpea miso is a good gluten-free alternative to traditional white miso paste.
- You can substitute chili garlic sauce with minced garlic and red pepper flakes if desired.
- Ensure the tamari or soy sauce is gluten-free if needed for dietary restrictions.
- Adjust roasting times based on your oven and thickness of salmon filets.
