Ingredients

1 salmon fillet (5-ounce, skin-on or skinless)
2 tablespoon white miso paste
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon brown sugar
0.5 teaspoon fresh ginger (freshly grated)
1 clove garlic (minced)
1.5 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
4 ounce fresh green beans (trimmed)
0.5 cup instant brown rice
0.25 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
0.5 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the brown rice: Cook 1/2 cup instant brown rice according to package directions. Keep warm.
Make the miso glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Stir in 1 teaspoon of the toasted sesame oil.
Cook the green beans: Heat 1/2 teaspoon of the toasted sesame oil in a medium non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fresh green beans, salt, and black pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until tender-crisp.
Cook the salmon: While the green beans are cooking, pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Place the salmon, skin-side down (if applicable), in the skillet with the green beans, or in a separate small non-stick pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and easily flakes with a fork. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the miso glaze over the salmon.
Assemble and serve: Plate the cooked brown rice, glazed salmon, and garlic sesame green beans. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds, if desired.

Notes

Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For extra flavor, marinate the salmon in half of the glaze for 10-15 minutes before cooking.
