Ingredients
  

  • 4 ounce king salmon fillets skin on or off
  • 2 tablespoon white miso paste
  • 1 tablespoon gochujang Korean chili paste
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce low sodium
  • 1 tablespoon mirin Japanese sweet cooking wine
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 0.5 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 cup sticky rice uncooked
  • 1.5 cup water
  • 0.5 cup kimchi chopped if large
  • 0.25 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha or to taste
  • 2 tablespoon green onions sliced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Rinse rice thoroughly under cold water until water runs clear. Cook rice according to package directions, typically 1 cup rice to 1.5 cups water, either on the stovetop or in a rice cooker. Set aside once cooked.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, gochujang, soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil until smooth. This is your Miso-Gochujang glaze.
  • Pat salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Place salmon in a shallow dish and generously brush the Miso-Gochujang glaze over both sides of the salmon. Let marinate for 10-15 minutes at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
  • Preheat your oven broiler to high, or heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. If pan-frying, cook salmon skin-side down for 4-5 minutes until crispy, then flip and cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until cooked through and flaky. If broiling, place salmon on a foil-lined baking sheet and broil for 7-10 minutes, depending on thickness, until cooked through and lightly caramelized. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  • While salmon cooks, prepare the Sriracha Mayo. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise with sriracha until well combined. Adjust sriracha to your preferred spice level.
  • To assemble, divide sticky rice among serving bowls. Top each with a piece of glazed salmon and a spoonful of kimchi. Drizzle with Sriracha Mayo. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving hot.

Notes

For best results, allow salmon to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, to absorb more flavor. If you don't have king salmon belly, regular salmon fillets work perfectly. Adjust the amount of gochujang to your preferred spice level. Serve with steamed broccoli or edamame for an extra veggie boost.
