🥗Healthier: trout

💰Cheaper: cod

Trout is a healthier option, while cod is more budget-friendly.

In a medium bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of miso, 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 3 tablespoons of honey.

Add 1 tablespoon of rice wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and 1 large clove of finely grated garlic to the bowl.

Next, add 2 teaspoons of sambal oelek and 1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger to the mixture.

Whisk all the ingredients together until well combined.

Place the salmon in a shallow dish and pour about half of the glaze over the fish.

Cover the dish and chill the salmon in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours to marinate.

Reserve the remaining marinade in the refrigerator until ready to cook the fish.

Transfer the marinated salmon to a lined baking sheet.

Drizzle with a little more glaze if any portions of the salmon are not covered.

Add vegetables to the other side of the baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with pepper.

Bake at 425°F for about 12 minutes until the fish is cooked through.
