- 2 Tbsp Unsalted Butter (softened, cut into small pieces)
- 3 stalks Scallions (thinly sliced, white and green parts separated)

- 1 medium Grapefruit (juiced (about 3 Tbsp))

Instructions
Rinse the Rice
Place 1 cup of short‑grain rice in a fine mesh sieve and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear.
Time: PT2M
Cook the Buttered Scallion Rice
In a small saucepan combine the rinsed rice, 1¼ cups water, 2 Tbsp softened butter, a pinch of salt, and half of the sliced scallion whites. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 12 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 2 minutes before fluffing.
Time: PT14M
Temperature: 212°F
Prepare the Miso‑Grapefruit Marinade
In a mixing bowl whisk together 2 Tbsp white miso, 3 Tbsp freshly squeezed grapefruit juice, 1 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp honey, 1 tsp grated ginger, and 1 minced garlic clove until smooth.
Time: PT5M
Marinate the Salmon
Place the two salmon fillets in a shallow dish, pour the glaze over them, and turn to coat evenly. Let the salmon sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
Time: PT10M
Broil the Salmon
While the salmon marinates, preheat the oven’s broiler on high and line a baking sheet with foil. Place the salmon skin‑side down on the sheet and broil for 8 minutes, or until the surface is sticky, glossy, and just beginning to caramelize.
Time: PT8M
Temperature: Broil (high)
Slice Remaining Scallions
Thinly slice the remaining scallion greens and the white parts that were not used in the rice.
Time: PT2M
Assemble the Bowls
Divide the buttery scallion rice between two bowls. Top each with a broiled salmon fillet, drizzle any leftover glaze from the pan, sprinkle sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds, and serve with a side of pickled vegetables.
Time: PT3M
