Print Recipe

A quick and healthy dinner featuring salmon glazed with a balanced miso sauce, served with rice, edamame, and pickled ginger for a flavorful and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170 g each), skin on for crispiness
  • 1 tablespoon white miso paste
  • 1 tablespoon mirin (sweet rice wine)
  • 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for vegan twist)
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine or brown rice (about 400 g cooked)
  • 1 cup shelled edamame (fresh or frozen, steamed)
  • 2 tablespoons pickled ginger slices
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (toasted, for garnish)
  • Optional: avocado slices
  • Optional: fresh cilantro or shiso leaves
  • Optional: wasabi or Sriracha drizzle

Instructions

  1. Make the Miso Glaze: In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon white miso paste, 1 tablespoon mirin, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger until smooth and slightly runny but sticky enough to cling to the salmon.
  2. Prepare the Rice: Cook 2 cups of jasmine or brown rice according to package instructions (about 15-20 minutes). Keep warm until serving.
  3. Steam the Edamame: Steam 1 cup of shelled edamame in a steamer basket or microwave for about 3-4 minutes until tender but still bright green. Drain and set aside.
  4. Cook the Salmon: Heat a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon oil. When hot, place salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes without moving to get crispy skin. Flip the salmon carefully.
  5. Brush Glaze & Finish Cooking: Immediately brush salmon tops with the miso glaze. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until glaze caramelizes slightly and salmon is cooked through but moist inside. Reduce heat if glaze starts to burn.
  6. Assemble the Bowls: Divide cooked rice between 4 bowls. Top each with a salmon fillet, a scoop of edamame, and pickled ginger slices. Garnish with green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Add optional avocado slices or Sriracha drizzle if desired.
  7. Serve immediately while salmon is warm and glaze is glossy.

Notes

If the miso glaze is too thick, thin it with a splash of water or more mirin. Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking salmon to keep skin crispy. Pat salmon dry before cooking to prevent glaze from sliding off. Frozen salmon can be used if thawed and patted dry. For gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce and check miso paste for gluten. Mirin can be substituted with dry white wine and a pinch of sugar. To keep salmon moist, avoid overcooking and watch glaze closely to prevent burning.
