Ingredients

White miso paste2 tbsp
Mirin1 tbsp
Low-sodium soy sauce1 tsp
Sesame oil1 tsp
Honey1 tsp
Bok choy2 heads, halved
Jasmine rice150g dry weight
Sesame seeds1 tsp
Spring onion2 stalks, sliced

Method

1Mix miso, mirin, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, and ginger to make the glaze. Spread over salmon fillets and marinate for at least 15 minutes (up to 24 hours in the fridge).
2Cook rice according to packet instructions. Finish with a few drops of sesame oil and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
3Preheat grill to high. Place salmon on a lined baking tray skin-side down. Grill for 8–10 minutes until the glaze is caramelised and salmon is just cooked through. Watch carefully — the miso can burn quickly.
4Steam or stir-fry bok choy with a little ginger and sesame oil for 2–3 minutes.
5Serve salmon on rice with bok choy alongside. Garnish with spring onion.
