Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets, skin on or off
  • 3 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • About 3 cups cooked jasmine or sushi rice
  • Sliced cucumber
  • Shredded carrots
  • Chopped scallions
  • Pickled ginger or kimchi (optional)
  • Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Avocado slices (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons white miso paste, 2 tablespoons honey, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari, 1 teaspoon rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil until smooth and glossy.
  2. Cook the rice: Rinse 1½ cups jasmine or sushi rice under cold water until water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions or in a rice cooker. Fluff with a fork when done and keep warm.
  3. Prep vegetables: Slice cucumber into thin rounds or half-moons, shred carrots, and chop scallions finely. Slice avocado just before serving to avoid browning.
  4. Cook the salmon: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly oil it. Place salmon fillets skin-side down if skin-on. Cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until skin is crispy and salmon is about two-thirds cooked.
  5. Glaze and finish: Flip salmon carefully and spoon half the glaze over the cooked side. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for another 2-3 minutes while glaze caramelizes and sticks to the fish. Avoid burning.
  6. Assemble the bowl: Divide cooked rice between four bowls. Place glazed salmon on top, arrange fresh veggies and avocado slices around it. Drizzle remaining glaze over the bowl and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top.
  7. Final touch: Add pickled ginger or kimchi on the side if desired. Serve immediately while salmon is warm and glaze is glossy.

Notes

If the glaze thickens too much before finishing cooking, stir in a teaspoon of water to loosen it. Avoid overcrowding the pan to keep salmon skin crispy and glaze even. Use fresh minced garlic for best flavor. Rinse rice well to prevent gumminess. Add glaze only after salmon is mostly cooked to avoid soggy skin.
