Grilled Maple-Soy Coho Rice Bowls

A bright grilled coho bowl built for mid-May in Washington, when crisp radishes, green onions, cucumbers, and tender peas feel especially fresh. The sweet-savory glaze cooks quickly, and the raw-crunchy toppings keep dinner light and colorful.

  • Brown sugar or honey
    1 tablespoon

  • Sesame oil, optional
    1 teaspoon
  • Salt and black pepper
    to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the vegetables first: thinly slice 4 radishes, 1 cucumber, 4 oz snow peas, and 2 green onions. Toss the radishes and cucumber with 1 tablespoon vinegar and a pinch of salt; set aside while you cook.
  2. Rinse 3/4 cup jasmine rice until the water runs mostly clear. Cook with 1 1/4 cups water and a pinch of salt on the stove, covered, until tender, about 15 minutes. Rest covered for 5 minutes, then fluff.
  3. Make the glaze by stirring together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar or honey, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, 1 tablespoon neutral oil, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil if using.
  4. Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Pat 12 oz coho salmon dry, season lightly with salt and pepper, and brush with half the glaze.
  5. Oil the grill grates. Grill the salmon skin-side down if it has skin, about 4 minutes. Turn carefully, brush with the remaining glaze, and grill 2 to 4 minutes more, until the salmon flakes and reaches 145°F in the thickest part.
  6. Quickly toss the sliced snow peas with the hot rice so they soften slightly but stay crisp.
  7. Plate the snow pea rice in shallow bowls. Top with grilled coho, pickled cucumber-radish crunch, and sliced green onions; spoon over any resting juices from the salmon.

Total time: 40 minutes

Estimated cost: About $16–$19 for the portions used, based on the listed sale coho plus spring vegetables; pantry staples not counted.

Health notes: Approximately 610 calories per serving. High-protein from coho, moderate carbs from jasmine rice, and plenty of fresh crunch; go lighter on the glaze if watching sodium.

Drink pairing: Choose a crisp, citrusy white with enough acidity for the soy-ginger glaze and crunchy vegetables. A dry Riesling also works well if you like a hint of fruit against the chile and ginger.
