*Using baby greens and mixed vegetables
2, (4-5-ounce) skin-on salmon fillets, 1¼ inch thick
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 cup cooked black rice (see chart below)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2-4 cups greens of choice (see greens list) - Washed
2-3 cups vegetables of your choice (sliced radish, grated carrots, sliced cucumbers, sugar snap peas, asparagus, grated beets, and edamame are a few good choices or pick from the list below)
¼ cup cup Orange-Miso (recipe below)
¼ cup chopped herbs of choice (cilantro, mint or basil), optional
Optional toppings - toasted sesame seeds, crushed wasabi peas, shredded nori
Pat salmon dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Cook salmon, skin side up, until well browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until well browned on the skin side, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to platter.
Toss rice with ½ tablespoon of dressing then season with salt and pepper. Toss greens, if using, with just enough dressing to coat. Divide greens among individual bowls, then top with seasoned rice, cooked salmon and vegetables. Sprinkle with herbs and any toppings. Drizzle remaining dressing.
