Steps

1. In a small bowl, mix miso paste, sake, mirin, and soy sauce to create the marinade. 2. Coat the salmon fillet with the miso marinade and let it sit for 15 minutes. 3. Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium heat. 4. Grill the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side until cooked through and slightly caramelized. 5. While the salmon grills, steam the broccoli, carrots, and snap peas until tender but still crisp, about 5 minutes. 6. Drizzle olive oil over the steamed vegetables and toss gently. 7. Plate the salmon alongside the vegetables, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and serve immediately.
