The whole point of a sheet-pan dinner is that the tray does the multitasking, not you. Broccolini goes on first because it needs longer than the salmon and can handle direct heat without drying out the way fish does.
Miso butter is doing a lot of work here for very little effort — it’s just three pantry staples mashed together, and it caramelises into something that tastes deliberate rather than like dinner you rushed.
If you’re not near broccolini, ordinary broccoli cut into smaller florets works, just give it two extra minutes before the salmon goes on.
Ingredients
Makes 2 servings- 2 x 180 g salmon fillets
- 1 bunch broccolini
- 1.5 tbsp white miso paste
- 2 tbsp, softened butter
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tsp rice vinegar
Method
Heat the oven to 210°C. Line a tray and lay the broccolini out first — it needs the head start on the salmon.
Mash the miso, butter, honey, and rice vinegar together into a paste.
Roast the broccolini alone for 6 minutes, then push it to one side and add the salmon, skin-down if it has skin.
Spread the miso butter over the salmon and roast a further 10–12 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily and the broccolini has caught some char at the edges.
Serve straight off the tray — this recipe exists specifically to avoid dirtying a second dish.
