30-Minute Miso-Glazed Salmon Rice Bowls with Sesame Ginger Slaw
These vibrant rice bowls combine buttery miso-glazed salmon with a crisp sesame ginger slaw for a 30-minute meal bursting with umami. The sweet-savory glaze caramelizes under the broiler, while the tangy slaw adds refreshing crunch. A drizzle of spicy mayo ties it all together for restaurant-quality flavor at home.

Store components separately for up to 2 days. Reheat salmon gently to avoid drying.
