Instructions

Step 1: For miso glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, mirin, and sake until smooth. Set aside.
Step 2: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with 1 tbsp glaze and bake for 12-15 minutes until flaky and glazed.
Step 3: For rice: In a large pot, bring 2 1/2 cups water to a boil. Add rice, 1 tbsp butter, and a pinch of salt. Simmer for 15 minutes, then cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and stir in remaining 2 tbsp butter and green onions.
Step 4: Serve salmon with miso-butter rice, drizzled with remaining glaze.
