Ingredients

• 4 (6 oz each) salmon fillets
• 3 tbsp white miso paste
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 cup short-grain rice
• 1 1/4 cups water
• 1 bunch (8 oz) bok choy
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds

Instructions

1. Step 1: Rinse 1 cup short-grain rice under cold water until water runs clear; combine with 1 1/4 cups water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18 minutes until water is absorbed; let sit covered for 5 minutes.
2. Step 2: Whisk 3 tbsp white miso paste, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tsp sugar in a bowl until smooth. Place 4 salmon fillets skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
3. Step 3: Brush miso mixture evenly over salmon, then bake at 400°F for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden and salmon flakes easily.
4. Step 4: While salmon bakes, steam 1 bunch bok choy (8 oz) for 4 minutes until bright green. Drizzle with 1 tsp sesame oil and sprinkle with 1 tbsp sesame seeds before serving with rice.
