Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp white miso paste, 1 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp honey until smooth.
  2. Step 2: Place 2 salmon fillets skin side down on a foil-lined baking sheet. Brush the miso glaze generously over the top of each fillet. Roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes until salmon is cooked through and glaze is caramelized.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, rinse 1 cup jasmine rice under cold water until water runs clear. Combine rinsed rice and 1 1/4 cups water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Fluff the cooked rice with a fork, then stir in 2 tsp sesame oil, 3 thinly sliced scallions, and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds.
  5. Step 5: Serve the miso-glazed salmon over the sesame scallion rice immediately.
