This delicious combination is a great weeknight meal. The bowl features Miso Glazed Salmon and is brightened by Jasmine Rice with Furikake and a Cucumber and Onion salad with a light Sweet Garlic Chili Dressing.
Furikake is a traditional Japanese seasoning used in numerous dishes as a garnish. There are many different kinds but generally it has sesame seeds, bonito flakes, nori, red pepper, salt and sugar. We had found some locally and loved it especially on rice. We later found some really good stuff while traveling in Japan.
2 pounds salmon, sliced into four filets
salt and pepper
1/4 cup miso paste
2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
1 Tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Furikake Seasoning (your favorite) and chopped green onions for garnish
Salt and pepper the salmon.
In a small bowl add the miso paste, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Wisk together until smooth. Reserve 2 tablespoons of marinade.
In a medium sized bowl add the salmon and the sauce. Let it marinade for 1-3 hours.
Make the Cucumber and Onion Salad
Make the Jasmine Rice.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large skillet add the salmon and discard marinade. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until fish is almost done and opaque. Brush with reserved glaze and Broil on high for 1-2 minutes until fish reaches 125-130 degrees in the center.
Garnish with green onions and furikake seasoning if desired.
