Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170 g each), skin on or off depending on preference
  • 3 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons mirin (sweet rice wine)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (use tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger (optional)
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa (about 1 cup uncooked)
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 cup steamed or roasted broccoli florets
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Optional extras: pickled ginger or kimchi, fresh cilantro or parsley, chili flakes or sriracha

Instructions

  1. Prepare the miso glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons white miso paste, 2 tablespoons mirin, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, and grated ginger if using until smooth.
  2. Cook the grains: Rinse 1 cup of brown rice or quinoa under cold water. Cook according to package instructions (40-45 minutes for brown rice, 15 minutes for quinoa). Fluff with a fork and stir in 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil.
  3. Prep the veggies: Steam broccoli florets until tender (4-5 minutes) or roast at 400°F for 10-12 minutes with oil and salt. Shred carrots and slice avocado and green onions.
  4. Glaze and bake the salmon: Preheat oven to 400°F. Place salmon fillets skin-side down on parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with miso glaze. Bake 10-12 minutes until salmon flakes easily but remains moist.
  5. Assemble the bowls: Divide grain base among four bowls. Top with broccoli, carrots, avocado, and green onions. Place a salmon fillet on each bowl. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and optional extras.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy warm. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.

Notes

Let the miso glaze sit for 10 minutes before baking for deeper flavor. Use tamari instead of soy sauce for gluten-free. Broil salmon for last 1-2 minutes for extra caramelization but watch closely to avoid burning. Leftovers store well for 2 days; reheat salmon gently to avoid drying.
