Preparation
For the salmon, mix together the miso, soy sauce, honey, minced pineapple (with any accumulated juice), ginger, and sesame oil in a work bowl. Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour miso marinade over the top. Make sure the fish is evenly coated, then marinate for 30 minutes.
Heat oven to 450°F.
Place salmon on a lined baking sheet, making sure that each piece has a thin coating of marinade over the top. Roast for 7–9 minutes, until the exterior of the fish is well caramelized.
While the fish is cooking, prepare the Romanesco. Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe sauté pan. Add garlic and sauté until it just begins to brown. Add diced pineapple and cook until caramelized. Add Romanesco and jalapeños and toss with the other ingredients.
Place the sauté pan into the oven and roast until the Romanesco begins to brown, 5–7 minutes. Remove from oven, toss with the almonds, and adjust seasoning to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with caramelized salmon.
