Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz / 170 g each), skin-on
  • 3 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • About 4 cups cooked jasmine or sushi rice (800 g)
  • 2 cups steamed broccoli florets (150 g)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots (100 g)
  • 1 medium cucumber, sliced
  • ½ cup shelled edamame (75 g)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Optional: pickled ginger or a drizzle of sriracha

Instructions

  1. Rinse 2 cups (400 g) of jasmine or sushi rice under cold water until clear. Cook according to package instructions (about 15 minutes in a rice cooker or 18-20 minutes on stove). Fluff with a fork.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons white miso paste, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, and 1 minced garlic clove until smooth and glossy.
  3. While rice cooks, steam 2 cups broccoli florets and ½ cup shelled edamame for 4-5 minutes until tender but bright green. Shred 1 cup carrots and slice 1 medium cucumber thinly. Set aside.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon neutral oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Pat salmon fillets dry and season lightly with salt. Place skin-side down and cook for about 4 minutes until skin is crispy.
  5. Flip salmon carefully, spoon miso glaze generously over cooked side, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until salmon flakes easily and glaze caramelizes without burning.
  6. Divide cooked rice into four bowls. Arrange glazed salmon on top, then add steamed broccoli, edamame, shredded carrots, and cucumber slices around the sides. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
  7. Add pickled ginger or a drizzle of sriracha if desired. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before cooking for crispy skin. Add miso glaze only after flipping salmon to prevent burning. Use medium-high heat for a good sear. Toast sesame seeds in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes to enhance flavor. Glaze can be made up to two days ahead and stored in the fridge. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari. For low-carb, use cauliflower rice instead of jasmine rice.
