Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the broiler to high and line a baking sheet with foil. In a small bowl, whisk 3 tbsp white miso paste, 2 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger until smooth.
- Step 2: Pat 4 salmon fillets dry and season lightly with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Place salmon skin-side down on the foil and brush the tops generously with the miso glaze.
- Step 3: Broil the salmon for 8-10 minutes, watching closely, until the glaze is bubbling and caramelized and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Step 4: While the salmon cooks, heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 3 cups cooked jasmine rice and 2 tsp toasted sesame seeds, stirring for 3-4 minutes until the rice is heated through and fragrant.
- Step 5: Remove rice from heat and stir in 2 sliced scallions. Divide the ginger-sesame rice evenly among 4 bowls and top each with a miso-glazed salmon fillet. Spoon any remaining glaze from the pan over the salmon and serve hot.
