Miso Maple-Glazed Salmon

• In a small pot, combine rice, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

• Heat a small, dry pan over medium heat. Add sesame seeds and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl. • Toss sweet potato, zucchini, bell pepper, and onion on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil (for 4 servings, use 2 baking sheets; roast on top and middle racks). Season generously with salt and pepper. • Roast on middle rack, tossing halfway through, until browned and tender, 25-30 minutes.

• Pat salmon* dry with paper towels and season generously all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add salmon to pan, skin sides down. Cook until skin is crisp and fish is almost cooked through, 5-7 minutes. • Flip and cook until opaque and cooked through, 1-2 minutes more. • Remove from pan and set aside.

• Heat same pan over medium-high heat. Add stock concentrate, maple syrup, ¼ cup water (1⁄3 cup for 4 servings), and a pinch of salt. Simmer until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Turn off heat. Stir in 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4) until melted.
