Description:
Glazed salmon, warm rice, crisp cucumbers, scallions, and sesame make a weeknight bowl that feels polished but stays manageable.
Ingredients:
- 1.50 Pound salmon fillets
- 2.00 Tablespoon white miso
- 2.00 Tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1.00 Tablespoon honey
- 2.00 Tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1.00 Tablespoon soy sauce
- 4.00 Cup cooked rice
- 1.00 Piece cucumber
- 0.50 Cup scallions
- 2.00 Teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions:
- Heat the broiler with a rack about 6 inches from the heat. Line a sheet pan with foil or parchment.
- Stir together the miso, butter, honey, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, and soy sauce until smooth.
- Pat the salmon dry and place it skin-side down on the pan. Broil for 5 minutes.
- Brush the salmon generously with miso butter and broil for 3 to 5 minutes more, until glossy and just cooked through.
- Toss the cucumber with the remaining rice vinegar and a pinch of salt.
- Divide rice among bowls, add salmon, cucumbers, scallions, and sesame seeds, then spoon over any pan juices.
Notes:
- White miso is milder than red miso and works best here.
- If your broiler runs hot, bake at 425 F instead and glaze during the final 4 minutes.
- Leftover salmon is good cold over salad the next day.
