Preparation
- Step 1
Heat oven to 425 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, coat salmon with 2 tablespoons oil, season lightly with salt and pepper and arrange skin-side up. Roast until fish is just opaque throughout and cooked to medium, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Step 2
Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter in remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high. Add halved radishes (not leaves), season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and slightly softened, about 8 minutes. (If using zucchini, you can reduce the cook time to about 5 minutes; if using artichokes, you'll only need to cook about 3 minutes.) Add 1 cup water, the peas, capers, miso and mustard, and cook, stirring to dissolve the miso and mustard, until peas are tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Step 3
Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and simmer until a light sauce forms, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and stir in radish leaves and dill.
- Step 4
Divide vegetables among plates or shallow bowls and top with salmon. Spoon pan sauce on top and serve warm.

If you roast skin side up the fat under the skin permeates the salmon, increasing its flavor.
I cook a lot of fresh salmon and this dish is a welcome addition to my usual roster of recipes. I tend to wrap salmon in foil but cooking it unwrapped and skin side up really crisps up the skin (and I love the skin). The radish and pea broth is wonderful, a revelation. I didn’t have dill or radish leaves so I served the salmon on a bed of mixed lettuce leaves. A comforting meal for lockdown down here in New Zealand. Stay safe everyone.
This dish is amazing, even if I didn't have the miso. I made it with radishes and peas... The sauce could be bottled and that sold. But start with the veg first as it takes at least twice as long with the salmon.
Quite delicious and easy way to utilize some fresh farmers market radishes. So glad we grabbed some bread to go with at the last minute-this was brothier than expected but the broth is delicious so make sure you have some bread or orzo/pearl couscous to soak it up. Otherwise I might do a bit less water than called for.
Added some lemon zest, lemon juice from half a lemon and a bunch of rough chopped frozen spinach. Served with couscous. Perfect.
If you marinate the raw salmon before cooking (even just for 15 or 20 minutes) in a mixture containing some of that white miso, it will make the fish a great deal more moist, delicate, and silky. That's because the natural enzymes in miso (a fermented product that also happens to be rich in wonderful umami flavors) breaks down muscle proteins in the fish. (But this effect will not be achieved by spooning a miso sauce over a filet after it's already cooked.)
