Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 3 tbsp white miso paste
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 1/2 cups, uncooked jasmine rice
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 2, thinly sliced green onions
- 3 cups water
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp white miso paste, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp rice vinegar until smooth.
- Step 2: Place 4 salmon fillets skin-side down on a lined baking sheet. Brush each fillet generously with the miso glaze. Bake for 12-15 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily.
- Step 3: While salmon bakes, rinse 1 1/2 cups jasmine rice under cold water until clear. Combine rice and 3 cups water in a medium pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes.
- Step 4: Meanwhile, heat 2 tsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 cups broccoli florets and sauté for 5-6 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds over broccoli and toss.
- Step 5: To serve, spoon jasmine rice into bowls, top with miso-glazed salmon and sesame broccoli. Garnish with 2 thinly sliced green onions.
