Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170 g each), skin-on for crispiness
  • 3 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons mirin (or dry sherry as a substitute)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 pound (450 g) Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin)
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Sesame seeds, toasted
  • Pickled ginger or a squeeze of lime (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients: trim and halve Brussels sprouts, rinse and drain rice or quinoa if cooking from scratch, slice avocado and green onions; set aside for garnish.
  2. Make the miso glaze: whisk together 3 tablespoons white miso paste, 2 tablespoons mirin, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, and 1 teaspoon grated ginger until smooth and glossy. Add a splash of water if too thick.
  3. Cook the Brussels sprouts: heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add Brussels sprouts cut-side down, season with salt and pepper, and char undisturbed for 5-7 minutes. Flip and cook another 5 minutes until tender and golden. Alternatively, roast at 425°F (220°C) for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway.
  4. Glaze and cook the salmon: pat salmon dry and season lightly with salt. Heat a skillet over medium heat with oil. Cook salmon skin-side down for 4-5 minutes until skin is crispy. Flip, brush miso glaze generously on top, and cook 3-4 minutes until salmon is cooked through and glaze is sticky and caramelized. Avoid pressing down on the fish.
  5. Assemble the bowl: divide warm rice or quinoa between bowls. Arrange charred Brussels sprouts and glazed salmon on top. Add sliced avocado, sprinkle with green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Optionally add pickled ginger or lime wedge.
  6. Final touches: drizzle extra soy sauce or squeeze fresh lime if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before cooking to crisp skin and prevent glaze from sliding. Let Brussels sprouts char undisturbed for best flavor. Use a silicone brush to apply glaze evenly and only in the last few minutes to avoid burning. Reheat leftovers gently in a skillet to maintain texture and glaze. Miso glaze can be made ahead and stored up to 3 days in the fridge.
