Ingredients

• 4 (6 oz each) salmon fillets
• 3 tbsp white miso paste
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
• 12 oz trimmed green beans
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
• 1 1/2 cups jasmine rice
• 3 cups water
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. Step 1: Rinse 1 1/2 cups jasmine rice under cold water until water runs clear. Combine rice and 3 cups water in a medium pot, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until tender; remove from heat and let stand covered.
2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp white miso paste, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tsp freshly grated ginger until smooth.
3. Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season 4 salmon fillets with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
4. Step 4: Place salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 4 minutes until the skin is crispy.
5. Step 5: Flip salmon and brush the miso glaze generously over the top of each fillet. Cook an additional 3-4 minutes until salmon is cooked through and glaze is caramelized.
6. Step 6: While salmon cooks, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add 12 oz trimmed green beans and blanch for 3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp; drain.
7. Step 7: Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a separate skillet over medium heat. Add the green beans and sauté for 2 minutes until slightly toasted.
8. Step 8: Sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds over the green beans and toss to combine.
9. Step 9: Serve the miso-glazed salmon over jasmine rice with sesame green beans on the side.
