Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp white miso paste, 1 tbsp maple syrup, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tsp rice vinegar until smooth.
  2. Step 2: Place 4 salmon fillets skin-side down on a lined baking sheet and spread the miso glaze evenly over the top of each fillet.
  3. Step 3: Bake salmon for 10-12 minutes until the glaze is caramelized and salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Step 4: Divide 4 cups steamed white rice among four bowls. Top each bowl with a glazed salmon fillet.
  5. Step 5: Garnish with 1/4 cup pickled ginger, 2 thinly sliced scallions, and sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds before serving.
