MISO GLAZED SALMON
[VOL. 07]
i’m jeremy fall, chef, restaurateur, and founder of drugstore.
this is SUPERMARKET. a weekly newsletter about food, culture, and why your microwave deserves more respect.
this week, we’re going back into the archives for episode three of WAVES.
miso-glazed salmon. not your typical teriyaki redux or soy-sugar glaze. this one’s punchier. white miso for depth, sriracha for bite, honey for balance. it hits that sweet spot between weeknight efficiency and flavor that tastes like it took way longer.
watch it below and follow @microwave for more.
MISO-GLAZED SALMON
umami-rich, microwave-fast
this isn’t the salmon you broil until flaky and forget to season.
this is a miso-forward glaze with sriracha heat and honey softness - sharp, salty, sweet, and ready in under five minutes.
white miso brings depth. sriracha adds bite. honey rounds it all out. and if you’re feeling extra, the finishing move is Pokekake Original Poke Seasoning. think of it as furikake’s punchier cousin: salty, crunchy, and built to pair perfectly with salmon.
INGREDIENTS
1 salmon fillet (4–6 oz), skin on or off
1 tbsp white miso paste
1 tsp sriracha
1 tsp honey or maple syrup
½ tsp sesame oil
½ tsp rice vinegar or lemon juice
cooked rice, for serving
Pokekake Original Poke Seasoning, to finish
optional: chopped scallions, pickled vegetables
INSTRUCTIONS

1 tbsp white miso paste
1 tbsp buttermicrowave for 10 seconds to soften. stir in:
1 tsp sesame oil
½ tsp rice vinegarCOOK THE SALMON

microwave uncovered on high for 5–6 minutes, until edges are golden and crispy.PLATE THE DISH
place salmon over the crispy rice.
garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds.
finish with sea salt and cracked black pepper.
POKEKAKE SEASONING
this week’s salmon doesn’t need much - just a glaze, a microwave, and a good crunch on top.
enter pokekake: a furikake-style seasoning that doesn’t phone it in. salty, savory, and loud in the best way.
pokekake original hits that textural high note, thanks to roasted sesame seeds, seaweed, and a punch of umami that was basically designed for fatty fish and warm rice.
BACON BREAKFAST BURRITO
Farm-fresh bacon, slow-cooked for flavor, wrapped with organic eggs and avocado. Our Bacon Breakfast Burrito gives you a satisfying start to your day.
Ingredients: All-natural pork bacon, organic egg, organic cheddar cheese, organic avocado, organic home fries, organic whole wheat tortilla, and organic harissa aioli
PAIR IT WITH:
whenever you’re cooking or need a soundtrack, you can listen to the DINNER PARTY playlist on Spotify.
this week’s flavor match is “Dang!” by Mac Miller ft. Anderson .Paak - funky, sharp, a little sweet, and way smoother than it needs to be. exactly like this miso-glazed salmon.
want more depth? add a splash of soy sauce or a pinch of brown sugar.
want it brighter? squeeze a little lemon over the top before serving.
eat it hot, or cold the next day over greens. it holds up either way.
see you next week.
