Instructions

  1. Step 1: Whisk 3 tbsp white miso paste, 2 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tsp sugar in a small bowl until smooth to make the glaze.
  2. Step 2: Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then brush generously with miso glaze, reserving 1 tbsp for basting.
  3. Step 3: Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until skin is crispy and golden brown.
  4. Step 4: Flip salmon, brush with reserved miso glaze, and transfer skillet to a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Step 5: While salmon cooks, rinse 2 cups short-grain rice under cold water until water runs clear. Cook rice according to package directions, then stir in 1 tbsp grated ginger, 1 minced scallion white, and 1 tsp sesame oil while hot.
  6. Step 6: Serve salmon over ginger-rice, garnished with sliced green scallions and a drizzle of extra miso glaze.
