Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each), skin on or off based on preference
  • 2 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free option)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil (grapeseed or canola)
  • 1/3 cup hot sauce (Frank’s RedHot recommended)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup shredded kale or spinach
  • 1/2 cup diced cucumber
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Sesame seeds, toasted
  • Optional: ranch or blue cheese dressing for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the miso glaze by whisking together miso paste, soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic until smooth. Add a teaspoon of water if too thick.
  2. Cook the brown rice or quinoa according to package instructions (about 20 minutes). Fluff and keep warm.
  3. Make the buffalo sauce by combining hot sauce, melted butter, apple cider vinegar, and smoked paprika. Stir well and adjust heat if desired.
  4. Wash and shred kale or spinach, dice cucumber, shred carrots, slice avocado, chop green onions, and toast sesame seeds in a dry pan for 2 minutes.
  5. Heat neutral oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Pat salmon dry and place skin-side down if skin is on. Cook 4-5 minutes until edges are golden and crisp.
  6. Flip salmon carefully and brush miso glaze generously on the cooked side. Cook another 3-4 minutes, brushing glaze once more until salmon is opaque and flakes easily.
  7. Transfer salmon to a bowl and gently toss with buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
  8. Assemble the bowl by layering rice or quinoa, kale or spinach, then buffalo miso-glazed salmon. Top with cucumber, carrots, avocado slices, green onions, and toasted sesame seeds.
  9. Serve immediately with optional ranch or blue cheese dressing and extra buffalo sauce on the side.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before cooking for a better sear. Avoid overcrowding the pan. Brush miso glaze during last minutes to prevent burning. Toast sesame seeds just before serving. Store components separately if making ahead. Reheat salmon gently to keep moist.
