Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170 g each), skin on
  • 2 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 1 tablespoon mirin (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari (gluten-free if needed)
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 cup fresh spinach leaves (about 30 g)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves
  • 1/4 cup fresh chives or green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice (about 370 g cooked)
  • 4 slices thick-cut ham, diced or torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrot
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, sliced
  • Optional: toasted sesame seeds or crushed nuts for crunch

Instructions

  1. Rinse 1 cup (170 g) quinoa under cold water. Combine with 2 cups (475 ml) of water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside. (If using rice, follow package instructions.)
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp white miso paste, 1 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp honey, and 1 tsp grated ginger until smooth.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pat salmon fillets dry, then brush each generously with miso glaze. Place skin-side down in the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes without moving them. Flip carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes until salmon is just cooked through and glaze is sticky and caramelized. Remove from heat and let rest.
  4. Crack 6 large eggs into a blender or food processor. Add 1 ripe avocado, 1 cup fresh spinach, 1/4 cup parsley, 1/4 cup chives, 1 tbsp lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Blend until silky smooth and bright green. Pour into a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until softly scrambled and creamy.
  5. In a separate pan, lightly sauté diced ham slices for 2-3 minutes until warmed through and slightly caramelized.
  6. Divide cooked quinoa or rice into four bowls. Top each with a generous scoop of fresh green eggs, a portion of miso-glazed salmon, sautéed ham, cherry tomatoes, shredded carrot, and cucumber slices. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds or crushed nuts if desired.
  7. Give everything a gentle squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of freshly cracked black pepper just before serving.

Notes

Blend eggs with avocado and herbs for a silky texture. Cook salmon skin-side down first to get crispy skin. Brush miso glaze on salmon while pan is cool to prevent burning. Use low heat and patience when cooking green eggs to avoid rubbery texture. Store components separately for best freshness.
