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 honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (use tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil (optional)
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice or brown rice (about 400 g cooked)
  • 1 cup steamed broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned or shredded
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Pickled ginger or kimchi (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook 1 cup dry jasmine or brown rice (about 200 g) according to package instructions, usually 15-20 minutes. Fluff with a fork and keep warm.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons white miso paste, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, and minced garlic until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Steam 1 cup broccoli florets for 4-5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
  4. Julienne or shred 1 carrot, slice the avocado, and thinly slice 2 green onions. Set aside.
  5. Heat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat and lightly oil if needed. Place salmon fillets skin-side down (if skin-on) and cook for 4-5 minutes without moving until skin is crispy and fish is halfway cooked.
  6. Flip salmon gently, brush miso glaze generously over each fillet, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until glaze caramelizes and salmon is opaque and flaky. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
  7. Divide cooked rice between four bowls. Top each with a salmon fillet, steamed broccoli, shredded carrot, avocado slices, and green onions.
  8. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and add pickled ginger or kimchi if using. Serve immediately.

Notes

If miso paste is too thick to brush, thin with a teaspoon or two of water. Brush glaze only after flipping salmon to prevent burning. Use room temperature salmon for even cooking. Watch glaze carefully as sugars caramelize quickly. For gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce. Leftovers store well separately for up to two days.
