A quick and easy miso-glazed salmon dinner bowl that combines sweet, savory flavors with tender salmon and wholesome ingredients, perfect for a healthy and delicious meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 skin-on salmon fillets (6 oz / 170 g each)
  • 3 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 4 cups cooked jasmine or brown rice
  • Steamed or sautéed vegetables (baby bok choy, snap peas, shredded carrots)
  • 2 green onions, sliced thin
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • Optional: avocado slices, pickled ginger, or sriracha

Instructions

  1. Prepare the miso glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons white miso paste, 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup), 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Cook the rice: Prepare 4 cups cooked jasmine or brown rice according to package instructions (about 15–20 minutes). Fluff and keep warm.
  3. Prepare the vegetables: While the rice cooks, steam or lightly sauté your choice of vegetables until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  4. Pat the salmon dry with paper towels to help get a crispier skin.
  5. Preheat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes until hot but not smoking.
  6. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Press down gently with a spatula for 10 seconds to prevent curling. Cook for 4–5 minutes without moving until skin is crisp and golden.
  7. Flip the salmon carefully and cook for another 2 minutes. Spoon the miso glaze evenly over the top of each fillet, allowing it to caramelize slightly as the salmon finishes cooking. Cook for an additional 1–2 minutes until the glaze is bubbly and the salmon is cooked through (internal temperature around 125°F/52°C for medium).
  8. Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Arrange steamed vegetables and glazed salmon on top. Sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
  9. Add optional avocado slices, pickled ginger, or a drizzle of sriracha for extra flavor if desired.

Notes

If the glaze thickens too much, stir in a teaspoon of water to loosen it. Watch heat closely when caramelizing the glaze to avoid burning. Pat salmon dry before cooking for crisp skin. Use medium-high heat and do not overcrowd the pan. Apply glaze after flipping the salmon to prevent burning sugars. Aim for an internal temperature of 125°F (52°C) for medium doneness.
