The magic of this dish lies in the dynamic duo of miso-roasted radishes and sesame-crusted salmon.

While the recipe calls for a mix of black and white sesame seeds, feel free to use just one kind if that's what you have on hand. For the radishes, ensure smaller ones are halved and larger ones are quartered to promote even cooking. The reserved radish leaves, though not directly used in the main dish, can be a great addition to a simple side salad.
