📝 How This Bowl Became My Secret Weapon
I first made this dish on a rainy Tuesday when I was this close to ordering sushi. I had a salmon fillet in the freezer, a packet of brown rice in the pantry, and a vague memory of miso paste in the fridge. Ten minutes later, I was eating something that felt way fancier than it had any right to be.
Now it’s my go-to when I want something warm, nourishing, and low-effort—but still kind of impressive.
🍚 10-Minute Miso Ginger Salmon Bowl
You’ll need:
- 1 salmon fillet (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tbsp white miso paste
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1 cup microwaveable brown rice
- 1 cup baby spinach
To make it:
- Mix the miso paste and ginger with a splash of water to create a thick sauce.
- Rub the miso-ginger mix onto the salmon.
- Microwave the salmon (covered) or cook in a non-stick pan for 5–7 minutes, until cooked through.
- Heat the rice, then toss spinach over the hot rice to wilt slightly.
- Top rice and spinach with the salmon and dig in.
💡 Healthy Hacks & Variations
- Add a crunch: Sprinkle with sesame seeds, chopped spring onion, or a few crushed peanuts.
- Go green: Add steamed edamame, cucumber ribbons, or avocado slices.
- Make it spicy: A drizzle of sriracha or chili oil takes it to the next level.
- Short on salmon? This also works with tofu, shrimp, or leftover rotisserie chicken.
This Miso Ginger Salmon Bowl is proof that quick meals don’t have to be boring—or beige. It’s flavorful, nourishing, and the kind of dish that makes you feel like you’ve got your life together (even if your laundry says otherwise).
