Ingredients
- 4 (5 oz/140g each), skin-on Salmon fillets
- 3 tbsp White miso paste
- 1 tbsp Mirin
- 1 tsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 4 medium, thinly sliced Scallions
- 2 cups (200g) Broccoli florets
- 1.5 cups (300g) cooked Rice
- 1 tbsp Toasted sesame seeds
- 1/4 tsp Kosher salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp white miso paste, 1 tbsp mirin, 1 tsp rice vinegar, and 1 tsp sesame oil until smooth.
- Step 2: Place salmon fillets skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet, season skin with 1/4 tsp kosher salt, then brush miso glaze evenly over salmon flesh.
- Step 3: Roast salmon for 12-14 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 125°F and the glaze is caramelized and bubbling at the edges.
- Step 4: While salmon cooks, blanch broccoli florets in boiling water for 2 minutes, then shock in ice water to retain bright green color.
- Step 5: Heat a skillet over medium-high, add 1 tbsp sesame oil, and stir-fry sliced scallions and blanched broccoli for 2 minutes until crisp-tender, then toss with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds before serving alongside salmon.
