Ingredients
  

2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

1/4 cup miso paste (white or yellow)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon rice vinegar

2 cups cooked jasmine or sushi rice

1 avocado, sliced

1 cup cucumber, thinly sliced

1/2 cup shredded carrots

2 green onions, chopped

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Seaweed sheets (optional, for garnish)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the miso paste, honey or maple syrup, soy sauce, and rice vinegar until smooth. Adjust the sweetness or saltiness according to your preference.

    Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or ziplock bag and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the fridge for deeper flavor).

      Cook the Salmon: Preheat your grill or oven to 400°F (200°C). If grilling, place the marinated salmon on a grill mat or directly on the grill grates. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked to your desired doneness. For baking, place the salmon on a lined baking sheet and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until flaky.

        Prepare the Rice Bowl: In serving bowls, scoop a portion of cooked rice as the base. Arrange the sliced avocado, cucumber, and shredded carrots on top of the rice.

          Assemble: Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the heat and place a fillet on each bowl. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the top for added flavor.

            Garnish: Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Optionally, if you like a bit of crunch or flavor, add pieces of seaweed sheets. Season with salt and pepper as desired.

              Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy your delightful and nutritious Salmon Rice Bowl!
