Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets, skin-on (about 6 oz / 170g each)
  • 3 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons mirin
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • 2 cups cooked short grain white or brown rice
  • 1 cup steamed or roasted broccoli florets
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • ½ cup shelled edamame
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)
  • Sesame oil, 1 teaspoon plus extra for drizzling
  • Fresh lime wedges (optional)
  • Pickled ginger or sliced avocado (optional toppings)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons white miso paste, 2 tablespoons mirin, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger, and 1 minced garlic clove until smooth and well combined (about 3 minutes).
  2. Marinate the salmon: Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place skin-side down in the bowl with the glaze, turning to coat each piece evenly. Let sit for 10-15 minutes at room temperature.
  3. Cook the rice: While salmon marinates, cook 1 cup uncooked short grain rice according to package instructions or in a rice cooker (about 20 minutes). Fluff with a fork when done.
  4. Steam the veggies: Steam 1 cup broccoli florets and ½ cup shelled edamame until tender but still crisp, about 5-7 minutes, using a steamer basket or microwave.
  5. Cook the salmon: Heat 1 teaspoon sesame oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes without moving to crisp the skin. Flip carefully and cook another 3-4 minutes until glaze caramelizes and salmon flakes easily.
  6. Assemble the bowl: Divide cooked rice between four bowls. Top each with a salmon fillet, steamed broccoli, shredded carrots, edamame, and sliced green onions. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and add avocado or pickled ginger if desired.
  7. Finish and serve: Drizzle extra sesame oil over bowls and serve with lime wedges. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before glazing for better adhesion. Cook skin-side down first to crisp skin and keep fish moist. Avoid high heat to prevent glaze burning. Toast sesame seeds for added flavor and crunch. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari. Mirin can be replaced with sake and sugar or extra honey. Cook salmon in batches if pan is small to avoid overcrowding.
