Full Plate Meal Idea – Put It Together!

To make a single plate, follow these instructions. For a larger batch to serve more people or to provide leftovers, multiply the ingredient amounts as needed. 

1. Prepare Quick and Savory Edamame Stir-Fry as directed. 
2. Chop 1 small cucumber.
3. Cook the brown rice according to the package instructions. There are dry, packaged, and frozen options available. Cooked brown rice freezes well for later use.
4. Mix together 1 teaspoon of miso paste, 1 teaspoon of maple syrup, and 2 tablespoons of water, then brush the mixture over the salmon and bake for 15 minutes at 400°F.
5. Assemble by plating in quadrants: ½ cup edamame stir-fry, ¼ cup cucumber, 1 cup brown rice, and baked salmon. Then top with ¼ avocado.
