Ingredients
- 4 (6 oz each), skin-on salmon fillets
- 1 cup, diced small pineapple
- 2 tbsp white miso paste
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1.5 cups water
- 1 cup, trimmed snow peas
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp lemon zest
Instructions
- Step 1: Combine 2 tbsp white miso paste, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tsp sesame oil, and 1 tsp lemon zest in a bowl. Rub mixture evenly over salmon fillets, pressing gently to adhere.
- Step 2: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 6 minutes until skin is crispy, then flip and cook for 4 more minutes.
- Step 3: While salmon cooks, bring 1 cup jasmine rice and 1.5 cups water to a boil in a rice cooker or pot. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed.
- Step 4: Add 1 cup diced pineapple and 1/2 tsp garlic powder to the salmon skillet. Cook for 3 minutes until pineapple softens and glaze thickens slightly.
- Step 5: Steam 1 cup snow peas for 3 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender. Serve salmon with jasmine rice and snow peas.
