Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz / 170 g each), skin-on for crispy texture
  • 3 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (to keep it vegan)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine or brown rice (about 370 g cooked)
  • 1 cup steamed broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned or thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup shelled edamame (frozen is easiest)
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (for crunch and presentation)
  • Optional extras: pickled ginger, fresh cilantro or parsley, avocado slices

Instructions

  1. Prepare the rice by cooking 1 cup (185 g) of uncooked jasmine or brown rice according to package instructions (about 15-20 minutes).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons white miso paste, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, and minced garlic until smooth and pourable. Add a splash of water if too thick.
  3. Steam 1 cup broccoli florets until bright green and tender-crisp (about 4-5 minutes). Julienne the carrot and thaw the edamame if frozen.
  4. Heat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Place salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until skin is crispy and fish is halfway cooked. Flip carefully.
  5. Spoon the miso glaze evenly over the salmon fillets. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, spooning more glaze as it thickens and caramelizes. Salmon should be opaque and flake easily.
  6. Divide cooked rice between four bowls. Top with steamed broccoli, carrots, edamame, and miso-glazed salmon fillets. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
  7. Add optional extras like pickled ginger or avocado slices. Serve immediately.

Notes

Use medium heat to avoid burning the glaze. Pat salmon dry before cooking for crispy skin. Add glaze only after flipping salmon. Let salmon rest covered loosely with foil for a couple of minutes after cooking to lock in juices. For gluten-free, use tamari and check miso paste label. Leftovers store well separately for up to 3 days.
