If you love salmon but are looking to enjoy it in a new way, this brown sugar glazed salmon recipe is going to be your new go-to recipe! This post has been sponsored by USA Rice. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you for supporting the brands that keep Kroll’s Korner running! Salmon is such a versatile fish, full of good-for-you-nutrients and is protein packed. Not to mention that it’s absolutely delicious with U.S.-grown short grain rice (like sushi rice!). Plus, it’s so easy to make you’re going to be craving this on a weekly basis! September is National Rice Month, a special month to celebrate the U.S. rice industry, including farmers, producers and manufactures. Some of my other favorite rice recipes are my Arancini Rice Balls (great for appetizers), Southwest Chicken Rice Bowls (ridiculously easy!), and my Sausage, Peppers & Rice Skillet (gotta love one pan meals!). This recipe is featuring one of my favorite rice varieties: U.S.-grown short grain rice. Specifically, sushi rice. It’s a short, plump, almost round kernel and ideal for dishes with a bit of sweetness, like this one. Fun fact: 95% of sushi rice is grown in California! We absolutely love this recipe in my house and I know you’re going to love it too!
Salmon: Rich in omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. Looks for salmon fillets that are bright in color and firm to the touch. U.S.-grown short grain rice: One of my favorite varieties to cook with and we always have it stocked in our pantry. Unseasoned rice vinegar: I love cooking with rice vinegar because it’s not as harsh as normal white vinegar and has a slight Asian flavor. May also be labeled “rice wine vinegar.” White Miso: Miso is so underused in my kitchen and I need to change that immediately. Miso is a fermented soybean paste and white miso specifically is light colored and sweet. It’s quite nutritious, having rich amounts of B vitamins and protein and is used in sauces, soups, marinades, dips, salad dressings, etc. Brown Sugar: I recommend using a dark brown sugar for a little more flavor compared to a light brown sugar. Soy Sauce: The saltiness helps to balance out the sweetness from the brown sugar and miso. Other ingredients: garlic, ginger, scallions, chili flakes, sesame seeds, salt, limes.
