Instructions

1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons white miso paste, 2 tablespoons mirin, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and 1 tablespoon honey until smooth. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the glaze for later.
2. Step 2: Place 4 salmon fillets on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the miso glaze evenly over each fillet, then bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 12-15 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and the glaze is caramelized.
3. Step 3: While the salmon bakes, prepare the rice: in a bowl, combine 1 cup cooked white rice, 2 chopped green onions, 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds, and 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Gently toss to combine.
4. Step 4: Once the salmon is done, drizzle the reserved glaze over the top and serve immediately with the sesame scallion rice.
