Instructions
Rinse the jasmine rice. Combine it in a pot with the coconut milk and enough water to cover by 1 cm. Simmer on low heat until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is fluffy.
In a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, honey, soy sauce, and grated ginger until smooth.
Place the salmon fillets on a lined baking tray. Brush the miso glaze generously over each fillet. Bake at 200°C (390°F) for 10-12 minutes until the glaze is slightly caramelized and the salmon is cooked through.
While the salmon cooks, mix the diced mango, cucumber, minced chili, lime juice, and chopped cilantro in a bowl.
Serve the miso salmon over a bed of coconut rice and top generously with the mango salsa for a vibrant, flavorful finish.
