step-by-step

instructions

Cook Along

1 Prepare & roast the vegetables

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with salted water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Line a sheet pan with foil. Halve and peel the onion; cut into 1-inch-wide wedges, keeping the layers intact. Transfer the onion wedges and squash to the sheet pan; drizzle with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Arrange in an even layer. Roast 24 to 26 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.

2 Cook the rice

Meanwhile, add the rice to the pot of boiling water. Cook, uncovered, 17 to 19 minutes, or until tender. Turn off the heat. Drain thoroughly and return to the pot. Cover to keep warm.

3 Marinate the cucumber & make the dressing

Meanwhile, halve the cucumber lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise; place in a bowl. Add half the vinegar and season with salt and pepper; stir to coat. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, at least 10 minutes. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. In a separate bowl, whisk together the miso paste, coconut aminos, sesame oil, and remaining vinegar.

4 Cook the fish & serve your dish

Pat the fish dry with paper towels; season on both sides with salt, pepper, and all but a pinch of the togarashi. In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil on medium until hot. Add the seasoned fish, skin side up. Loosely cover the pan with foil and cook 3 to 5 minutes, or until lightly browned. Flip and cook 2 to 4 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.* Turn off the heat. Serve the cooked rice topped with the cooked fish, roasted vegetables, and marinated cucumber (including any liquid). Drizzle with the dressing. Garnish with the remaining togarashi. Enjoy!

*An instant-read thermometer should register 145°F.
