Ingredients

Miso Salmon

  • 3 tablespoons white miso
  • 2 tablespoons mirin
  • 1 tablespoon sake
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 4 salmon fillets

Soy-Ginger Dressing

  • 1 garlic clove
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon unseasoned rice wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons honey 
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger
  • ½ cup canola oil

Wild Rice Salad

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms
  • 3 carrots, grated
  • 1¼ cups wild rice
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Vegetables

  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
  • 4 heads baby bok choy, quartered
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions
1
In a small saucepan, whisk together the miso, mirin, sake, and sugar. Bring to a simmer and remove from the heat.
2
Coat the salmon in the miso sauce and marinate for 1-2 hours. 
3
Preheat the oven to 400°F. 
4
Combine all of the dressing ingredients in a blender or with an immersion blender until smooth. 
5
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil for the rice. Add the mushrooms and carrots and cook until softened, about 7 minutes. Stir in the rice, toss to coat in the oil and toast a bit, then add 2 cups of water and salt. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 45 minutes, until the grains are tender. Fold in half of the soy-ginger dressing and season to taste. 
6
On a baking sheet, place the salmon, discarding extra marinade, and roast until cooked through, 12-15 minutes. 
7
On a second baking sheet, toss the asparagus and bok choy with the olive oil and salt. Roast until crisp-tender, about 12 minutes. 
8
To serve, divide wild rice salad, salmon and roasted vegetables between plates. Drizzle with remaining soy-ginger dressing.  back
