Miso Salmon with Coconut Basmati Rice

"Ah, Umami, the 5th primary flavor. Umami means savory, more or less – savory in that “can’t quite put my finger on it” sort of way. I love the way this dish has the perfect combination of salty, sweet and savory. Salmon really shines in this preparation." -Claire Thomas
