• Hearts of Palm: 1 can (14 oz), drained and sliced into thick rounds
• Portobello Mushrooms: 2 large, sliced into thick strips
• King Oyster Mushrooms: 1 large, sliced into thick strips

For the Miso-Honey Glaze

• 2 tbsp white or red miso paste
• 1 tbsp honey (use maple syrup for vegan)
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
• 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
• 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tsp sriracha or chili flakes (optional, for heat)

For the Sheet-Pan Vegetables

• 1 cup broccoli florets

• 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)

Step-by-Step Instructions: Sheet-Pan Miso Honey Salmon

Step 1: Prepare the Protein

First, get your protein ready so it cooks evenly with the vegetables.

1. If using tofu: Press the tofu for 15 minutes between paper towels to remove excess water. Cut into 1-inch cubes.
2. If using hearts of palm or mushrooms: Rinse and pat dry. Slice into even pieces for even cooking.

Step 2: Make the Glaze

While the protein drains, whisk together the glaze ingredients.

1. In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and sriracha (if using). Set aside.

Step 3: Preheat and Prep the Pan

Next, get your sheet pan ready for the oven.

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or use a silicone mat.
2. Toss broccoli, bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on the sheet pan.

Step 4: Add the Protein

Now it’s time to add the star of the show.

1. Arrange your chosen protein (tofu, hearts of palm, or mushrooms) on the sheet pan, nestling it among the vegetables.

Step 5: Glaze and Bake

Drizzle the glaze over everything and let the oven do the work.

1. Drizzle the miso-honey glaze evenly over the protein and vegetables.
2. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the protein is golden and vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 6: Finish and Serve

Almost there! Just a few final touches.

1. Remove from oven. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and a squeeze of lime (optional).
2. Serve warm over steamed rice or quinoa for a complete meal.

Tips & Tricks for the Best Sheet-Pan Miso Honey Salmon

• Press the tofu well: This removes excess water so it absorbs more flavor and gets crispy in the oven.
• Slice vegetables evenly: This ensures everything cooks at the same rate for perfect texture.
• Don’t overcrowd the pan: Give the vegetables and protein space so they brown instead of steam.
• Use room-temperature ingredients: Cold ingredients can lower the oven temperature when added, affecting cooking time.
