Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz / 170 g each), skin-on for crispiness
  • 3 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons mirin (sweet rice wine)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 12 oz (340 g) fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: red pepper flakes
  • Cooked jasmine rice or brown rice (about 2 cups cooked, 370 g)
  • Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven broiler to high and position the rack about 6 inches (15 cm) from the heat source.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons white miso paste, 2 tablespoons mirin, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil until smooth.
  3. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment or foil.
  4. Spread the miso glaze evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
  5. Broil the salmon for 8-10 minutes until the glaze bubbles and develops golden brown spots and the salmon flakes easily but remains moist inside.
  6. While the salmon broils, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  7. Add sliced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  8. Add trimmed green beans, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
  9. Cook green beans for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender but still crisp and vibrant green. Add red pepper flakes in the last minute if desired.
  10. Prepare 2 cups of jasmine or brown rice according to package instructions and fluff with a fork.
  11. Assemble the bowl by spooning rice into each serving bowl, topping with a glazed salmon fillet, garlic green beans, and garnishing with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
  12. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Do not overcook the salmon; watch for bubbling and browning glaze as cues. Pat salmon dry before glazing for better caramelization. Add garlic just before green beans to avoid burning. Let salmon rest a minute after broiling to lock in juices. For gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce. Vegan option: substitute salmon with thick tofu slices and honey with maple syrup.
