Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz / 170g each), wild-caught preferred
  • 3 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine or sushi rice (about 360g)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets (90g)
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots (60g)
  • 1/2 cup shelled edamame (75g), optional
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Optional: pickled ginger, sriracha or chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Rinse 1 cup (185g) jasmine or sushi rice under cold water until water runs clear. Drain well. Cook rice with 1 1/4 cups (300ml) water in a rice cooker or medium saucepan for about 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork and keep warm.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons white miso paste, 2 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, 1 minced garlic clove, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil until smooth and slightly thick. Set aside.
  3. Steam broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Alternatively, sauté shredded carrots and edamame in a splash of oil over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Season lightly with salt. Drain and set aside.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place salmon fillets skin-side down and cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes to develop a crispy skin. Flip carefully using a spatula.
  5. Brush the top side of salmon generously with the miso glaze. Continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, spooning glaze over the top occasionally, until salmon is opaque and flakes easily but remains moist inside. Add extra time if fillets are thicker than 1 inch.
  6. Divide cooked rice between four bowls. Arrange steamed veggies on one side and place glazed salmon fillet on top or alongside. Drizzle any leftover glaze from the pan over the bowl.
  7. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Add optional pickled ginger or sriracha if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before cooking to ensure a crispy skin and better caramelized glaze. Whisk glaze thoroughly to avoid lumps and warm gently if too thick. Start rice first, then prep glaze and veggies to have everything finish simultaneously. Avoid overcooking salmon to keep it moist. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat gently with a splash of water.
