A traditional ingredient in both Japanese and Chinese cuisine, miso paste is made from fermented soybeans and grains and contains millions of beneficial bacteria." Miso may support gut health, promote vitamin levels, help in the fight against cancer, support immune function, support brain health, alleviate menopausal symptoms, support cholesterol balance, support heart health and support bone health.

Ingredients
Salmon
- 1 pound salmon fillets, skinless, thawed and cut into 1-inch cubes (choose fillets that are even in thickness)
- 1/4 teaspoon five spice powder
- 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 -1/4 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar (optional)
Bowl
- 3 - 4 cups cooked rice (brown rice, jasmine rice, black rice or other grain, or cooked cauliflower rice)
- 2 cups (8 ounces) fresh shiitake mushrooms (or other mushrooms)
- 2 cups edamame, shelled and thawed (or cucumber)
- 1 large avocado, sliced or cubed
- 2 cups red or green cabbage, shredded
Miso Dressing
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 3 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey)
- 2 tablespoons miso paste
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 small garlic clove
- 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- pinch cayenne (optional)
Optional Bowl Toppings
- sesame seeds
- cilantro
- scallions
- microgreens
- chili crisp
Here's how to make it:
- Make the dressing by placing all the ingredients into a blender and blending well. Set aside.
- Take the stems off of the mushrooms and place them onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Brush with some of the miso dressing and roast in a 450-degree F oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Cool and then slice. Set aside. (If you would like your cabbage cooked just cut into large pieces, toss with a bit of miso dressing and roast with your mushrooms.)
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (or leave the regular oven on at 450 degrees F). Mix the salmon spices in a medium bowl. Add in the salmon cubes and coat them with the spice mixture. Place the salmon on the air fryer rack, leaving space between them. Depending on the size of your air fryer you might need to do this in two batches. If you have a spray bottle of olive oil you can spritz the salmon with it to make them crispier.
- Bake for 3 minutes and turn and bake for another 1 to 2 minutes. (Every air fryer is a bit different, so check the salmon for an internal temperature of 125 degrees F). Do not overcook! If you are cooking in a conventional oven bake for 5 to 7 minutes on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice, salmon, avocado, edamame, cabbage and mushrooms between four shallow bowls. Drizzle with dressing and optional toppings, if desired, and enjoy. (If you want to meal prep just keep all the items separate and then assemble later.)
