Preparation
- Stir together the miso, butter, and maple syrup in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry, and spread the miso butter evenly over the tops and sides. Set aside.
- Place the water and rinsed rice in the cooker insert of an Instant Pot. Stir in the ginger, mirin, dashi, sesame oil, and salt. Scatter the edamame evenly over the rice mixture, then arrange the bok choy halves on top, cut side up. Place the miso butter-coated salmon fillets directly on top of the bok choy.
- Secure the lid on the Instant Pot, and set the valve to the Sealing position. Cook on high pressure for 2 minutes. Let naturally release for 6 minutes, then manually release the remaining pressure.
- Carefully open the Instant Pot, and lift out the salmon; set aside. Scoop the rice, edamame, and bok choy evenly into 2 bowls, and top each with 1 salmon fillet. Garnish with the pickled daikon, scallions, and a sprinkle of furikake. Serve immediately.
