Step-by-step
Whisk miso, mirin, soy, and honey in a small bowl.
Heat broiler. Line a sheet pan with foil.
Pat salmon dry. Place on sheet pan. Brush thick layer of glaze on top.
Broil 6–8 minutes until glaze caramelizes. Watch closely. miso burns fast.
7 min timer
Toss cucumbers with rice vinegar and salt. Pickle 5 minutes.
Build bowls: rice, salmon, cucumbers, edamame. Top with green onions and sesame seeds.
Cook's tip
Miso burns quickly. Place rack one notch below the top, not the highest position.
Storage
Refrigerate components separately up to 2 days.
Freezer: Do not freeze cooked salmon.

Loved it but added an extra scotch bonnet — we like it spicy. Recipe scales well, made a double batch.

Made this for Sunday lunch — the smoky bottom turned out perfect. Family demolished the pot in twenty minutes.

First time cooking this and the timing notes saved me. Did not lift the lid once. The crust at the bottom was the best part.
