Miso Butter Salmon Bowl - japanese dinner recipe

Miso Butter Salmon Bowl

A glossy miso-butter glazed salmon fillet sits over fluffy jasmine rice with quick-seared bok choy and cucumber for crunch. The sauce turns caramel-brown and clingy in the pan, then gets spooned over everything for a savory, rich finish.

  • Salmon(300 g)
  • Black pepper(½ tsp)optional
  • Bok Choy()
  • Cucumber(½)
  • Green Onions(2)optional
  • Butter(20 g)
  • Miso paste(25 g)
  • Soy sauce(1½ tbsp)
  • Mirin(1½ tbsp)
  • Honey(½ tbsp)
  • Ginger(10 g)
  • Garlic(1 clove)
  • Sesame oil(½ tbsp)
  • Rapeseed Oil(½ tbsp)
  • Sesame seeds(6 g)optional
  • Lime(1)optional

Method

  1. 1

    Rinse {Jasmine Rice} briefly. Add to a saucepan with {Water} and {Salt}. Bring to a boil, then cover and cook on low until the water is absorbed.

    ~12 min

  2. 2

    While the rice cooks, grate {Ginger}, finely chop {Garlic}, thinly slice {Cucumber}, and slice {Spring Onion}. Cut {Bok Choy} lengthways into quarters so it stays in chunky pieces.

    ~8 min

  3. 3

    Season {Salmon} all over with {Black pepper}. Heat {Vegetable oil} in a large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the salmon and cook until well browned on the first side.

    ~4 min

  4. 4

    Flip the salmon. Push it to one side. Add {Bok Choy} to the pan, drizzle with {Sesame oil}, and cook until the leaves wilt and the stems are glossy-crisp. Transfer the salmon and bok choy to a plate.

    ~4 min

  5. 5

    Lower heat to medium. Add {Butter} to the same pan. Once foaming, stir in {Miso paste}, {Honey}, {Soy sauce}, {Mirin}, {Ginger}, and {Garlic}. Let it bubble, stirring, until caramel-brown and clingy.

    ~3 min

  6. 6

    Return the salmon to the pan and spoon the glaze over it until the surface is glossy. Squeeze in juice from {Lime}. Rest off the heat so the glaze sets slightly.

    ~2 min

  7. 7

    Fluff the rice, then divide {Jasmine Rice} between bowls. Top with salmon, bok choy, and {Cucumber}. Spoon pan glaze over everything and finish with {Spring Onion} and {Sesame seeds}.

    ~2 min
