Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz / 170 g each; skin-on)
  • 3 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (optional)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 12 oz fresh green beans (trimmed and rinsed)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • About 2 cups cooked jasmine or brown rice (can substitute quinoa or cauliflower rice)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • 2 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions
  • Pickled ginger or sliced avocado (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the miso glaze: In a mixing bowl, whisk together white miso paste, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and lightly score the skin side to prevent curling.
  3. Heat a large non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes without moving until skin is crispy.
  4. Flip salmon carefully using a fish spatula. Brush tops generously with miso glaze and cook another 3-4 minutes until glaze is caramelized and salmon is cooked through (internal temp about 125°F / 52°C). Remove from heat and let rest.
  5. While salmon cooks, heat olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes if using; sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Add green beans, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until bright green and slightly tender but still crisp.
  7. Cook jasmine or brown rice according to package directions (about 15-20 minutes) and fluff with a fork.
  8. Assemble the dinner bowl by spooning rice into bowls, topping with a salmon fillet, and arranging garlic green beans on the side.
  9. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions. Add pickled ginger or avocado slices if desired.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before cooking for a crispy skin. Brush miso glaze towards the end of cooking to avoid burning the sugar. If glaze thickens, stir in a splash of water before brushing. Don’t overcrowd the pan when cooking green beans to keep them crisp. Leftovers keep well for up to 3 days refrigerated; reheat gently to maintain texture.
