Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Pat the salmon fillets dry. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon white miso paste, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon mirin, and 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Cook 1 cup quick-cooking brown rice according to package directions. Simultaneously, steam 1 cup frozen broccoli florets, either in the microwave or a steamer basket, until tender-crisp.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Place salmon skin-side down (if applicable) in the hot skillet and sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
  4. Flip the salmon fillets and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until nearly cooked through. Pour the miso glaze over the salmon and cook for 1-2 minutes more, spooning the glaze over the fillets until they are cooked through and the glaze has thickened slightly.
  5. Serve the Miso-Glazed Pan-Seared Salmon immediately with the cooked brown rice and steamed broccoli.

Notes

Be careful not to overcook the salmon to keep it tender and moist. The miso glaze caramelizes quickly.
