This easy honey miso glazed salmon with sesame green beans is a quick, flavorful dish perfect for busy weeknights or dinner parties, balancing sweet, salty, and umami flavors with a crunchy, nutty side.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170 g each), skin-on for crispiness
  • 3 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium if preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 12 oz fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons white miso paste, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until smooth and shiny. Set aside.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and lightly season with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a little oil. Place salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes without moving them until edges turn opaque.
  4. Carefully flip the salmon and brush generously with the honey miso glaze. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, basting occasionally, until salmon is cooked through and glossy.
  5. While salmon cooks, bring a pot of water to boil. Blanch green beans for 2-3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain immediately.
  6. Toss the blanched green beans with 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon honey, toasted sesame seeds, and a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired.
  7. Serve the glazed salmon fillets over a bed of sesame green beans. Spoon any leftover glaze from the pan over the top.

Notes

If glaze thickens too much, add a teaspoon of water to loosen it. Preheat pan well for crispy skin. Toast sesame seeds in a dry pan for maximum flavor. Use skin-on salmon for best texture. Blanch green beans to keep them crisp and vibrant. Avoid high heat to prevent glaze burning. Leftovers keep well for 2 days refrigerated; reheat gently in skillet.
