Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz / 170g each), skin-on for crispiness
  • 3 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine or sushi rice (about 1 cup raw / 200g)
  • 1 cup steamed or roasted broccoli florets
  • 1 medium carrot, julienned or thinly sliced
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Pickled ginger or kimchi (optional)
  • Optional garnishes: fresh cilantro or parsley, extra drizzle of soy sauce or sriracha

Instructions

  1. Rinse 1 cup (200g) jasmine or sushi rice under cold water until water runs clear. Cook rice according to package instructions (typically 1 cup rice to 1 1/4 cups water). Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it rest, covered, for another 10 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons white miso paste, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil (if using) until smooth and glossy.
  3. While the rice cooks, steam or roast broccoli florets until tender but still vibrant green (about 5-7 minutes steaming or 10-12 minutes roasting at 400°F). Julienne the carrot, slice avocado and green onions, and set aside.
  4. Heat a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place salmon skin-side down and sear for about 4-5 minutes without moving it until edges turn opaque and skin is crispy. Flip carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes until salmon is just cooked through but still moist inside.
  5. Reduce heat to low and spoon the miso glaze generously over the salmon. Cook for 1-2 minutes more, spooning glaze over the top until it thickens slightly and caramelizes. Avoid burning.
  6. Divide the cooked rice into four bowls. Arrange the miso-glazed salmon fillets on top, then add broccoli, carrots, avocado slices, and green onions around the sides. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and optional garnishes like pickled ginger or kimchi.
  7. Drizzle extra soy sauce or sriracha if desired. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before cooking for crispy skin. Use medium-high heat and do not flip salmon too early to avoid tearing skin. Add a splash of water if miso glaze thickens too fast. Do not overcrowd pan when searing salmon. Rice can be cooked ahead and kept covered to stay fluffy.
