A quick and easy miso-glazed baked salmon paired with crispy jasmine rice, delivering a comforting and flavorful dinner perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 skin-on salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
  • 3 tablespoons white or yellow miso paste
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 minced garlic clove
  • 2 cups cooked and cooled jasmine rice (preferably day-old)
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • Thinly sliced green onions for garnish
  • Toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic until smooth.
  3. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  4. Brush the miso glaze generously over the top of each salmon fillet, reserving some glaze for basting if desired.
  5. Place the salmon skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily and the glaze has a slight caramelized sheen.
  6. While the salmon bakes, heat toasted sesame oil in a non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
  7. Add the cooked, cooled jasmine rice to the skillet, pressing lightly with a spatula. Cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes until the bottom forms a golden-brown crust.
  8. Flip sections of the rice carefully or gently stir to combine crispy bits throughout. Cook an additional 3-4 minutes until a balance of crispy and soft rice is achieved.
  9. Garnish the salmon and rice with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Use day-old jasmine rice for best crispiness or cool freshly cooked rice completely before pan-frying. Tent salmon with foil if glaze browns too quickly. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari. For vegan adaptation, replace salmon with firm tofu and honey with maple syrup.
