Ingredients

2 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

3 tablespoons white miso paste

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger

2 cups cooked sushi rice (choose either white or brown)

1 ripe avocado, sliced

1 cup shelled steamed edamame

1 medium carrot, cut into thin matchsticks (julienned)

1 cucumber, thinly sliced

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

2 green onions, chopped finely

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

Salt & fresh cracked pepper to taste

Optional: Nori strips for garnish

Instructions

Marinate the Salmon: In a small mixing bowl, combine the white miso paste, honey (or maple syrup), soy sauce, and freshly grated ginger. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.

    Prepare the Rice: While the salmon is marinating, cook the sushi rice according to the package instructions until fluffy. Once cooked, allow it to cool for a few minutes. Then, mix in the rice vinegar, adding salt and pepper to taste, stirring gently to combine without mashing the rice.

      Cook the Salmon: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Remove the salmon from the marinade and place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.

        Assemble the Bowl: In a spacious serving bowl, add a generous scoop of the seasoned sushi rice as the base. Arrange the baked salmon fillet on top, followed by the sliced avocado, shelled edamame, julienned carrot, and cucumber slices for a burst of color and freshness.

          Garnish and Serve: Finish the dish by sprinkling sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the assembled bowl. If you're using them, add nori strips for an extra layer of flavor and a delightful crunch. Serve the bowl warm and enjoy the mix of delicious textures and flavors!

            Presentation Tips: For a beautiful presentation, consider layering the ingredients in a visually appealing manner, and serve with chopsticks or a decorative spoon. You can also drizzle a little extra soy sauce on top before serving for added flavor.
