Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz / 170 g each), skin-on for crispiness
  • 3 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (use tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional)
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice or brown rice (about 370 g cooked)
  • 1 cup steamed or roasted broccoli florets
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned or shredded
  • 1/2 cup edamame, shelled and cooked
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook 1 cup (185 g) of dry jasmine or brown rice according to package instructions, yielding about 2 cups (370 g) cooked.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons white miso paste, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until smooth and spreadable. Add a splash of water if too thick.
  3. Pat dry the 4 salmon fillets with paper towels and place skin-side down on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment or in an oven-safe skillet.
  4. Spread the miso glaze evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
  5. Preheat broiler on high and broil salmon about 6 inches from heat source for 6-8 minutes until glaze caramelizes and salmon flakes easily. Alternatively, pan-sear skin-side down on medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes, flip and cook 2-3 minutes with glaze applied.
  6. Steam or roast broccoli florets until tender-crisp (5-7 minutes). Julienne or shred carrot, cook edamame, and slice green onions.
  7. Divide cooked rice between four bowls. Arrange salmon fillets on top, add broccoli, carrots, edamame, sprinkle with green onions and toasted sesame seeds, and garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired.
  8. Serve immediately warm. Optionally, add a drizzle of sriracha mayo or a wedge of lime.

Notes

If glaze bubbles aggressively under broiler, reduce heat or move tray back. Let salmon rest a minute after cooking for juiciness. Can bake salmon at 400°F for 12-15 minutes then broil 1-2 minutes to caramelize glaze. Leftovers keep 2 days refrigerated; reheat gently to avoid drying.
