Ingredients

Salmon Marinade

2 fillets salmon cut into bite-sized pieces
1 tbsp miso paste
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 clove garlic crushed
1 inch ginger grated

Rice

1 cup rice per person, cooked according to package instructions

Avocado Salsa

1 whole avocado cubed
1 whole chilli finely chopped
1 stalk spring onion finely chopped
0.5 lime lime juice
salt to taste
pepper to taste

coriander leaves for garnish

Method

Prepare Rice and Marinade

Cook the rice according to package instructions. Keep warm until serving.
In a small bowl, mix miso paste, honey, soy sauce, crushed garlic, and grated ginger until smooth.
Toss the salmon pieces in the miso-honey glaze and let marinate for 10 minutes.

Prepare Avocado Salsa

In a bowl, combine cubed avocado, chopped chilli, spring onion, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. Fold gently.

Cook Salmon and Assemble Bowl

Heat a pan over medium-high heat with a splash of oil. Cook salmon pieces for 2-3 minutes per side until caramelized and slightly blackened.
Divide the cooked rice into bowls. Top with salmon and spoon avocado salsa on the side.
Sprinkle sesame seeds and scatter coriander leaves over the bowl before serving.

Notes

Marinate the salmon for exactly 10 minutes to avoid over-softening the fish.
Use a hot pan and minimal turning for perfectly caramelized salmon pieces.
