Notes

  • Swap salmon for grilled chicken, tempeh, or edamame to change up protein sources.
  • Use red miso for a deeper, more intense flavor.
  • Make it spicy by adding a few drops of chili oil or a sprinkle of togarashi.
  • Prep the vegetables and marinade ahead for easy meal assembly.
  • For extra probiotics, add a spoonful of fermented pickles or kimchi.
