Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, but thaw them completely and pat dry before glazing and cooking to ensure even browning.

Salmon is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.

Not all miso pastes are gluten-free; look for one specifically labeled gluten-free to ensure the dish is safe for gluten-sensitive eaters.

For best texture, cook just before serving, but you can prepare the rice and glaze a day in advance and refrigerate.
