FAQ
How many servings does this miso salmon bowl make?
The recipe makes two servings.
How long should the salmon marinate?
Coat the salmon and let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
How should the salmon be cooked?
Pan-fry or grill it over medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes per side, until cooked through and lightly caramelized.
How can I tell when the salmon is done?
It should be opaque in the center and flake easily. For a precise check, use a food thermometer and follow local food-safety guidance.
Can I use white rice instead of brown rice?
Yes. Cook the rice according to its package instructions, as cooking times and liquid amounts may differ.
Is miso gluten-free?
Not always. Check the label, especially for barley-based miso, and use gluten-free soy sauce if needed.
Can I make this bowl without sesame?
Yes. Simply leave out the sesame seeds. Check ingredient labels if you need to avoid sesame because cross-contact is possible.
Can I prepare the components ahead of time?
You can cook the rice and prepare the toppings ahead. Store them separately in the refrigerator and cook the salmon close to serving time.
