A quick and easy miso-glazed salmon dinner bowl featuring a savory-sweet glaze paired with fresh veggies and steamed rice, perfect for festive occasions or weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each), skin on
  • 3 tbsp white miso paste
  • 2 tbsp honey (or maple syrup for vegan)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce or tamari (gluten-free option)
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger (optional)
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine or sushi rice
  • 1 cup cucumber, thinly sliced or ribboned
  • 1 cup steamed edamame (shelled)
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Pickled ginger, to taste (optional)
  • Sesame seeds, toasted (for garnish)
  • Fresh cilantro or basil leaves (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons white miso paste, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Rinse 1 cup uncooked jasmine or sushi rice under cold water until clear. Cook according to package instructions or in a rice cooker (about 15-20 minutes). Keep warm.
  3. While rice cooks, thinly slice or peel cucumber into ribbons. Shred carrots and thinly slice green onions. Steam edamame by boiling shelled pods for about 5 minutes or until tender, then drain.
  4. Heat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Pat salmon fillets dry, skin side down. Place fillets in hot skillet and cook 4-5 minutes without moving to crisp skin. Flip and cook 2 minutes.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low. Brush miso glaze generously over salmon fillets. Cook 2-3 minutes more, spooning glaze occasionally until sticky and caramelized. Watch to prevent burning.
  6. Divide cooked rice among four bowls. Arrange cucumber ribbons, steamed edamame, shredded carrots, and green onions around edges. Place glazed salmon fillet in center of each bowl. Garnish with pickled ginger, toasted sesame seeds, and fresh herbs if using.
  7. Optionally, squeeze fresh lime or lemon juice over the top for brightness. Serve immediately.

Notes

For crispy salmon skin, ensure pan is hot before adding fish and do not move for first 4-5 minutes. Keep heat medium-low when glazing to avoid burning. Salmon can be baked at 400°F for 10-12 minutes as an alternative. Miso glaze can be made up to 2 days ahead and stored in fridge. Leftovers keep well for 2 days if stored separately.
