Glazed Salmon Miso Soup Rice Bowl Recipes

MISO SALMON GRAIN BOWLS

Steps:

• For the salmon marinade: Whisk together the rice vinegar, honey, miso, soy sauce, sesame oil and sriracha in a non-reactive container large enough to fit the salmon snugly. Add the salmon and turn to coat. Let marinate, turning occasionally, at least 30 minutes at room temperature or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
• To cook the salmon: Heat the oil in a medium non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade, letting the excess drip off, and add to the skillet, skin-side down. Reserve the marinade. Cook until the skin is golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until the salmon is just cooked through, about 3 minutes more, depending on thickness. Pour the reserved marinade into the pan and cook 1 to 2 minutes, spooning over the fish to glaze. Remove the salmon on a plate to avoid overcooking. (The salmon can be made up to a day ahead and served warm, room temp or cold from the fridge.)
• To assemble the bowls: Spoon the Farro (recipe follows) into 4 serving bowls. Add a piece of salmon into each bowl and gently break open the salmon into large chunks. Top with a spoonful of Pickled Vegetables (recipe follows). Garnish with a squirt of mayo, a drizzle of sriracha, crushed arare crackers, cilantro, scallions, sesame seeds and a lemon wedge on the side.
• Bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to boil. Add the farro. Bring to a simmer and cook until the farro is tender but still has a bit of chew, 25 to 35 minutes depending on the brand. Drain well. Return to the saucepan and add the olive oil, sesame oil and salt and toss to combine. Taste and season with more salt, if needed. (Farro can be made up to a day ahead and served at room temperature.)
• Combine the cucumbers, radishes and red onion in a medium bowl. Combine the vinegar, sugar, salt, ginger and garlic in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook just until the salt and sugar dissolve. Add the ice cubes to melt and cool down the pickling liquid. Pour over the vegetables. Refrigerate until chilled, 30 minutes or more. (The quick pickled vegetables can be made up to a day ahead.)

ROASTED SALMON WITH MISO RICE AND GINGER-SCALLION VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a medium saucepan, whisk miso with 2 1/4 cups water until dissolved. Stir in rice and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and cook until all of the liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork (it will be a little sticky).
• On a rimmed baking sheet, rub salmon all over with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and arrange skin-side up. Roast until fish is just opaque and cooked to medium, 8 to 10 minutes.
• In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, scallions, vinegar and ginger, and season with salt and pepper.
• Divide miso rice and cabbage among bowls. Top with salmon, ginger-scallion vinaigrette and sesame oil.
