Salmon Grain Bowl in miso and mirin

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the miso and mirin elements, and pat the salmon dry so it colours well.

Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Turn up the heat and add the salmon. Steam over simmering water until just tender and vibrant, then dress while warm.

Stir in the mirin and the rest of the miso and mirin flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the spinach along with a splash of stock or water, then cook briskly until everything is tender and the sauce clings.
