Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (about 5–6 ounces each)
  • 2 tablespoons white or yellow miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice, quinoa, or preferred whole grain
  • 1 cup shelled edamame
  • 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or sesame oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare a grill over medium heat.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, maple syrup, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, and grated ginger until smooth.
  • Place the salmon fillets on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush generously with the miso maple glaze.
  • Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
  • While the salmon cooks, prepare the grain according to package directions if not already cooked.
  • Divide the cooked grain among four bowls or plates.
  • Arrange the edamame, cucumber, shredded carrots, and avocado around the grain.
  • Place a cooked salmon fillet on each plate.
  • Drizzle any remaining glaze over the salmon if desired.
  • Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

White miso provides a milder, slightly sweeter flavor, while yellow miso offers a deeper savory taste.Pat salmon dry before glazing to help the sauce adhere better.For meal prep, store components separately and add avocado just before serving.Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free version.Add sriracha, chili crisp, or red pepper flakes for extra heat.
