A quick and healthy miso-glazed salmon nourish bowl combining tender salmon, fresh veggies, and fluffy rice with a rich umami glaze for a satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170 g each), skin-on
  • 3 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (use tamari for gluten-free option)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice or brown rice (about 400 g cooked)
  • 1 cup steamed edamame (shelled)
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cucumber, thinly sliced or julienned
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Sesame seeds (black or white, toasted if possible)
  • Pickled ginger or kimchi (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro or microgreens
  • Extra soy sauce or sriracha for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the miso glaze: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons white miso paste, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil until smooth and well combined. Set aside.
  2. Cook the rice: Prepare 2 cups of jasmine or brown rice according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork and keep warm.
  3. Prep the vegetables: Slice the cucumber thinly, shred the carrots, slice green onions, and prepare the avocado slices carefully to avoid browning. Steam or boil 1 cup of shelled edamame until tender (about 5 minutes), then drain and set aside.
  4. Cook the salmon: Heat a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towel. Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes without moving to get crispy skin. Flip the fillets carefully, then brush the miso glaze generously over the top side. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until salmon is just cooked through and glaze caramelizes slightly (internal temp about 125°F / 52°C for medium).
  5. Assemble the nourish bowls: Divide the cooked rice evenly among four bowls. Arrange the steamed edamame, shredded carrots, cucumber slices, avocado, and green onions on top. Place one glazed salmon fillet on each bowl. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and garnish with fresh cilantro or microgreens. Serve immediately with extra soy sauce or sriracha on the side.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before cooking for crispy skin. Brush glaze on after flipping salmon to prevent burning. If glaze burns, lower heat or finish in oven at 375°F for 3-4 minutes. Do not overcrowd pan. Store components separately for leftovers to avoid sogginess.
