How To Make Mary Berry Miso Salmon
A step-by-step guide to this wonderfully simple and flavorful one-pan dinner.
- Prep the Oven and Vegetables: Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C Fan/Gas Mark 6). On a large, rimmed baking tray, toss the tenderstem broccoli and asparagus with the sunflower oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Make the Miso Glaze: In a small bowl or jug, whisk together the white miso paste, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, crushed garlic, and grated ginger until you have a smooth glaze.
- First Bake: Place the baking tray with the vegetables in the preheated oven and roast for 10 minutes.
- Add Salmon and Finish Baking: Remove the tray from the oven. Nestle the salmon fillets among the partially cooked vegetables. Spoon the prepared miso glaze evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
- Bake to Perfection: Return the tray to the oven and bake for another 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through, opaque, and flakes easily with a fork.
- Serve: Garnish the traybake with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds and the sliced spring onions. Serve immediately.
Recipe Tips
For the most flavorful and perfectly cooked salmon traybake.
- How do I know when the salmon is cooked? The salmon is perfectly cooked when it is opaque and flakes easily when pressed gently with a fork. Be careful not to overcook it, as it can become dry. The 10-12 minute final bake is usually perfect for standard fillets.
- What is Miso Paste? Miso is a traditional Japanese seasoning made from fermented soybeans. White miso (shiro miso) is the mildest variety with a slightly sweet, savory (umami) flavor that is perfect for delicate fish like salmon.
- Can I make this ahead of time? This dish is at its best when served fresh from the oven. However, you can save time by chopping your vegetables and whisking together the glaze ahead of time. Store them in separate airtight containers in the refrigerator, then just assemble and bake when you’re ready for dinner.
- Can I use different vegetables? Absolutely! This recipe is very versatile. You could substitute the vegetables with others that cook in a similar amount of time, such as sliced bell peppers, courgettes, or sugar snap peas.
What To Serve With Miso Salmon

How To Store Miso Salmon
Keeping your delicious leftovers fresh.
- Refrigerate: Once completely cooled, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Reheat: Gently rewarm leftovers in the microwave or in a covered dish in a moderate oven until heated through. Be careful not to overcook the salmon during reheating.

FAQs
Yes. This recipe would also work well with trout fillets, as Mary Berry often uses, or other firm, oily fish like mackerel. It would also be delicious with cod or haddock.
To make this dish gluten-free, simply substitute the soy sauce with a certified gluten-free tamari or with coconut aminos.
The sugars in the honey and miso can caramelize quickly. If you notice the glaze on the tray (not on the fish) is starting to burn, you can add a tablespoon or two of water to the tray to prevent scorching.
