Miso Glazed Salmon with Ginger-Scallion Rice and Sesame Green Beans

Ingredients & Substitutes

Instructions

1. 1

   In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of white miso paste, 1 tablespoon of mirin, 1 tablespoon of sake, 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of grated fresh ginger until smooth to create the miso glaze.

2. 2

   Place the 2 (6 ounce) salmon fillets skin-side down in a shallow dish and generously brush the miso glaze over the top of each fillet, then let them marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.

3. 3

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then arrange the marinated salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet.

4. 4

   Roast the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, then set it aside to rest for a few minutes.

5. 5

   While the salmon rests, in a medium bowl, combine 2 cups of cooked jasmine rice, 2 tablespoons of sliced green onions, and 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil, stirring until well combined to make the ginger-scallion rice.

6. 6

   Steam 1/2 pound of fresh green beans for 3-5 minutes until they are crisp-tender, then toss them with a pinch of salt and pepper.

7. 7

   Serve the miso-glazed salmon fillets alongside the ginger-scallion rice and sesame green beans, garnishing the salmon with 1 teaspoon of sesame seeds before serving.
