Oven broiled Miso glazed salmon recipe with sushi rice and vegetables

white miso paste

🥗Healthier: red miso paste

💰Cheaper: soybean paste

Red miso has a deeper flavor, while soybean paste is more affordable.

mirin

🥗Healthier: rice vinegar + sugar

💰Cheaper: white wine

Rice vinegar + sugar mimics mirin's sweetness with fewer calories.

sesame oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Olive oil offers health benefits and is often less expensive.

salmon fillets

🥗Healthier: trout

💰Cheaper: canned salmon

Trout is a leaner option, while canned salmon is budget-friendly.

Mix 2 tablespoons of miso paste, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of sake in a large bowl.

Add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to the mixture and stir until well combined.

Place salmon fillets skin side up in the bowl and cover them with the marinade.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the salmon marinate for about 30 minutes.

Preheat the broiler to medium heat, about 12 inches from the heating element.

Place the marinated salmon fillets on a baking tray skin side down.

Broil the salmon for about 10 minutes, checking for doneness with a thermometer; it should reach 145°F (63°C).

While the salmon is broiling, sauté bok choy and red onion together in a pan with some of the leftover marinade for flavor.

Cook the vegetables until tender, then serve alongside the salmon.

Garnish the salmon with sliced scallions and sprinkle sesame seeds on top before serving.
