Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170 g each), skin-on
  • 2 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
  • 1 minced garlic clove
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa or brown rice
  • 1 cup fresh baby spinach or mixed greens
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cup blueberries or sliced strawberries
  • 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Thinly sliced scallions (for garnish)
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley (for garnish)
  • Optional: a squeeze of fresh lemon or lime juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Miso Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons white miso paste, 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup, 1 teaspoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, 1 minced garlic clove, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil until smooth and pourable.
  2. Preheat the Oven: Set oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  3. Prepare the Salmon: Pat 4 salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place skin-side down on the baking sheet. Brush each fillet generously with the miso glaze. Let marinate briefly.
  4. Roast the Salmon: Roast in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes until salmon flakes easily and glaze is caramelized. Optionally broil for last 2 minutes for crispier skin, watching carefully.
  5. Cook the Quinoa or Rice: While salmon roasts, cook 1 cup quinoa or brown rice according to package instructions. Fluff and keep warm.
  6. Prep the Veggies and Fruit: Wash and halve cherry tomatoes, thinly slice cucumber, slice avocado, and measure blueberries or sliced strawberries. Rinse and dry baby spinach or mixed greens.
  7. Assemble the Nourish Bowls: Start with quinoa or rice base in each bowl. Layer greens, then cherry tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, and berries. Top with miso-glazed salmon fillet.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, sliced scallions, and fresh herbs. Add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before glazing for better caramelization. Use skin-on fillets for crispy texture. Add a splash of water to glaze if too thick. Avoid overcooking salmon to keep it moist. Garnishes like toasted sesame seeds and scallions add texture and flavor. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat gently.
