Ingredients

Instructions

Cook the jasmine rice according to package instructions. Keep warm.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place salmon fillets on the sheet, drizzle with sesame oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 12-15 minutes or until just cooked through.
While salmon cooks, microwave or steam edamame until tender. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, mayonnaise, rice vinegar, honey, soy sauce, and lemon zest. Add a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten the sauce. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Prepare the vegetables: julienne carrot and thinly slice cucumber. Slice green onions.
To assemble bowls, divide rice among four bowls. Top each with a salmon fillet, edamame, carrot, cucumber, and green onions. Drizzle generously with creamy miso sauce. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and an extra squeeze of lemon if desired.
