Ingredients

  • 4 salmon filets about 1.5 lbs
  • 4 Tbsp white miso
  • 2 Tbsp rice vinegar or fresh lime juice
  • 2 Tbsp liquid aminos tamari, or soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 2 tsp sriracha optional
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tsp fresh ginger peeled and grated

For the Bowls:

  • 4 cups cooked brown rice or white rice
  • 3 cups shelled edamame
  • 3 cups cherry tomatoes
  • Sesame seeds
  • Sauces*

Instructions

  • Before preparing the salmon, make any additions you plan on using in the bowls. For instance, cook the rice and prep any veggies.
  • Remove the salmon filets from their packaging and place them on a cutting board. Use paper towels to pat off any excess moisture. Use a sharp knife to cut the salmon fillets into bite-sized chunks, leaving the salmon skin on.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the salmon into small bite-sized pieces. (Note: See recipe tips below if you'd like to skip this step).
  • Transfer all of the ingredients for the miso sauce to a small bowl or a measuring cup and mix well until combined.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add enough cooking oil, such as avocado oil, to generously coat the surface. Wait for a few minutes for the oil to heat up. Transfer the chopped salmon cubes to the hot pan and use a rubber spatula to spread them into a single layer, providing space in between the pieces. If you can, arrange the salmon skin side down.
  • Allow the salmon to cook for 3 to 4 minutes undisturbed before adding the sauce and giving everything a gentle stir. The sauce will sizzle, so use a splatter screen on top to prevent any splattering. Once the sauce is incorporated into the salmon, allow it to sit and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes before stirring again. Continue cooking and stirring until the salmon turns light pink and opaque and reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. You can insert a meat thermometer into a few of the larger pieces of cooked salmon to spot check for temperature.
  • ​Load up your bowls with cooked brown rice, miso salmon bites, edamame, and cherry tomatoes (or any other bowl additions). Give everything a drizzle of soy sauce, lime juice, and/or sriracha, and enjoy!

Notes

Nutrition Facts are based on using 1 cup of rice and a little less than a cup of edamame for each bowl.
 
*Make extra miso sauce to drizzle over the bowls, or drizzle with soy sauce, fresh lime juice, sriracha, or teriyaki sauce.
