A quick and easy miso-glazed salmon bowl perfect for New Year’s Eve or any special occasion, featuring a savory-sweet glaze and served with rice and fresh veggies.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces / 170 grams each), skin on
  • 3 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan twist)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (use tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil (optional)
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine or brown rice (about 370 grams cooked)
  • 1 cup steamed broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Sesame seeds for garnish (toasted if possible)
  • Pickled ginger or kimchi (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Miso Glaze: In a mixing bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons white miso paste, 2 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil until smooth. Set aside (about 5 minutes).
  2. Cook the Rice: Prepare 2 cups of jasmine or brown rice according to package instructions (about 15-20 minutes). Fluff with a fork once done and keep warm.
  3. Steam the Broccoli: While rice cooks, steam 1 cup broccoli florets until bright green and tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
  4. Glaze the Salmon: Pat dry the 4 salmon fillets with paper towels. Brush each fillet generously with the miso glaze on both sides.
  5. Cook the Salmon: Heat a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat with a small drizzle of oil. Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes without moving it to crisp the skin. Flip carefully and cook another 3-4 minutes until cooked through and caramelized.
  6. Assemble the Bowl: Divide rice evenly into four bowls. Top with steamed broccoli, shredded carrots, sliced avocado, and sliced green onions. Place the glazed salmon fillet on top.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and add pickled ginger or kimchi on the side if desired. Serve immediately with extra glaze for dipping.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before glazing to ensure crispy skin. Cook over medium-high heat but adjust to avoid burning the glaze. Let glaze sit for a few minutes before cooking to meld flavors. Rest salmon for a minute off heat to keep juices locked in. Optional: add a squeeze of fresh lime or lemon before serving to brighten flavors. For gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce. Leftovers keep well for up to 2 days if stored separately and reheated gently.
