For a weeknight salmon that’s impressive enough for entertaining, look no further. Salty miso paste and sweet maple syrup are the backbone of this simple, flavor-packed marinade, which is about as involved as this uncomplicated recipe gets. Here, the fish soaks up the sauce as the oven gets hot, and the snappy green beans roast in the same amount of time as the fillets. Start some rice when you walk in the door and you’ll have dinner on the table in under a half hour.

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat oven to 400 degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil. Season the salmon fillets well with salt and pepper, and place them on a plate or in a large shallow bowl.

  2. Step 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, miso, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce and garlic. Pour the mixture on top of the salmon and gently massage the marinade all over the fish. Let marinate while the oven comes to temperature.

  3. Step 3

    Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, toss together the green beans with the olive oil, red-pepper flakes and sesame oil (if using) and season generously with salt and pepper. Lay the salmon fillets on the sheet pan skin side down and spread the green beans out surrounding the fillets.

  4. Step 4

    Arrange the salmon skin side down on the sheet pan and bake until the salmon is opaque and the green beans are cooked through, about 12 minutes. Right before serving, scatter with cilantro and a good squeeze of lime. Season with flaky sea salt and serve with rice, if desired.

I always start cooking fish with the skin up. It allows the fat just under the skin to melt down into the fish, which, in my opinion, gives the fish added richness. I then flip the fish about halfway through cooking.

I cooked this slow at 300 for 25 minutes, then removed the salmon and upped the oven to broil for 5 minutes to brown up the green beans. Delicious. Slow cooking the salmon really makes the most of it. Serve over any grain or greens.

Been making this for years now...in addition to the maple and miso, I add prepared mustard to the sauce. I call it MMM (maple; miso; mustard) and it is...mmm good

While we were eating this meal, my long-term boyfriend decided to reveal his apparently longstanding but heretofore unmentioned hatred of green beans. (He thought the salmon was great.) I loved this meal and thought it was delightfully easy to prepare with some white rice; will definitely make again, possibly substituting asparagus or broccolini for the green beans.

The green beans at the supermarket looked pathetic, but the asparagus was fantastic. So I did everything else as written except used asparagus, roasted in the oven at 400 for 12 minutes. Fantastic! Salmon and asparagus were both perfect!! Will make again

It was pretty good. I cooked the green beans a little longer. Easy. Though more like an hour in total.
