Miso Soy Salmon Sashimi Bowl

by Anna Chwistek
Anna Chwistek

This miso salmon sashimi isn’t only big on flavor and irresistible, it’s also foolproof and ready in about 15 minutes. A great appetizer or a snack to enjoy on a warm summer evening. Or served it over sushi rice for a quick lunch. Yup! So versatile, only one recipe but lots of ways to combine, double win!

Thinly sliced salmon, miso soy dressing, lemon juice, capers and fresh cucumber. Together, they make a perfect balance of the mild, acidic and salty flavors.

Miso paste has a deep taste, and soy and lemon juice give it a great complexity. They’re such a great partner to the richness of the fish. Surely just miso dressing and salmon couldn’t possibly make anything taste that good, right? But of course it does. And the texture, is delightful.

This dressing is quite possibly the best reason to keep a small container of umami-rich miso paste in the fridge. Combined with a few pantry ingredients, it gives the salmon an ultra-rich, savory flavor.

When served for lunch over rice, you definitely need to make it with sushi rice. And the few pieces of silky salmon instantly will jazz up your lunch. You’ll be surprised at how something so simple could taste so complete, so wholesome.

A pat of miso dressing gives this quick meal a fast and fancy twist. The sushi rice soaks up the dressing, while still keeping its texture.

    Sushi grade salmon should always be farm raised.. Only frozen wild salmon can be used for sushi.

    Wondering if you think smoked salmon would also work?

      It’s usually made with sashimi grade salmon to enjoy this dish safely. But if you can’t find it and don’t mind the smoked flavor, you can try to make it with smoked salmon and use less miso, otherwise it might turn out too salty. Or use wild caught salmon and just sear the surface. Let me know how it turned out for you. Happy cooking!
