Chef's Note
For the best flavor, marinate the salmon in half of the miso glaze for 30 minutes before cooking if you have time. The sweet potatoes can be cut and stored in cold water up to a day ahead to save prep time. If you prefer a more caramelized glaze, you can broil the salmon for the last minute of cooking, but watch carefully to prevent burning.
