Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 3 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • 1 cup jasmine rice (or brown rice for a healthier option)
  • 2 cups water or low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 teaspoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped (for garnish)
  • Sliced cucumbers
  • Edamame (optional)
  • Pickled ginger (optional)

Instructions

  1. Begin by preparing the miso glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of white miso paste, 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon of grated fresh ginger until smooth. The mixture should be glossy and slightly thick.
  2. Preheat your oven's broiler to high. While the oven heats, line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  3. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Use a spoon or brush to spread the miso glaze evenly over the top of each fillet. Ensure every bit of the fish is covered for maximum flavor.
  4. Once your oven is preheated, place the baking sheet on the top rack. Broil the salmon for 8-10 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling. Be sure to watch closely to prevent burning; if the glaze starts to darken too quickly, move the sheet down a rack.
  5. While the salmon is broiling, prepare the sesame ginger rice. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of jasmine rice and 2 cups of water or vegetable broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and fluffy.
  6. Once the rice is done, remove it from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork, then stir in 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of grated fresh ginger, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 2 teaspoons of rice vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds. The rice should be aromatic and slightly sticky.
  7. To serve, spoon a generous portion of the sesame ginger rice into bowls. Place a miso-glazed salmon fillet on top. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Consider adding sliced cucumbers, edamame, or pickled ginger for a fresh crunch.

Keywords: Be cautious with the broiler: Salmon can cook quickly under high heat. Keep an eye on it to avoid overcooking; the fish should be just opaque in the center.
