The other day, we bought and Deboned a Salmon Steak for dinner, and we wanted to build a fun pairing for it. We then found miso paste in the back of our refrigerator, and we opted to go with an Asian flavour profile (which normally goes really well with salmon). From there, we diced up some veggies, and sautéed them in the pan we’d eventually use to make our rice, added our rice, and then let everything simmer to finish!
While we went with onions, peas, and red bell peppers, this rice lends itself to a host of veggie options, so don’t limit yourself to what we used! We think that Napa cabbage, mushrooms, shredded carrots, and/or diced zucchini would also fit very well into this rice.
As for pairings, Salmon is a natural fit, but Seared Tuna with Honey Teriyaki Edamame Sauce, Asian Marinated Pork, or Honey Teriyaki Ribs would be great accompaniments too!
