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
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional)
  • 1 lb (450 g) Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine or brown rice (about 1 cup uncooked)
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley leaves for garnish
  • Optional: a drizzle of sriracha mayo or spicy aioli

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons white miso paste, 2 tablespoons mirin, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (if using) until smooth and glossy.
  3. Trim the ends and halve 1 lb Brussels sprouts. Toss them in 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (if using). Spread evenly on one side of the baking sheet.
  4. Place 4 salmon fillets skin-side down on the other side of the baking sheet. Brush each fillet generously with the miso glaze, covering all surfaces.
  5. Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes until Brussels sprouts are charred and tender and salmon flakes easily with a caramelized glaze.
  6. While roasting, cook 2 cups jasmine or brown rice according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork and keep warm.
  7. Divide the rice between four bowls. Top each with a salmon fillet and Brussels sprouts. Add avocado slices, sprinkle with green onions and toasted sesame seeds, and garnish with cilantro or parsley.
  8. Optionally, drizzle with sriracha mayo or your favorite spicy sauce.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

Let salmon sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before roasting for even cooking. Avoid overcrowding Brussels sprouts to ensure crispiness. Brush thin, even layers of miso glaze to prevent burning. If Brussels sprouts aren’t charring enough, broil for last 2 minutes watching carefully. Reheat Brussels sprouts in a hot skillet to restore crispiness. Miso glaze can be made up to 2 days ahead and stored in fridge.
