sweetgreen
sweetgreen began in Washington, D.C. on August 1, 2007 when three recent Georgetown graduates opened their first small restaurant after deciding there ought to be a way to combine the convenience of fast food with fresher ingredients. The company has grown around salads, warm bowls and protein-forward plates prepared from scratch with an emphasis on seasonal produce and relationships with growers. sweetgreen still describes its mission as reimagining fast food around real ingredients and a more transparent food system.
Miso Salmon Meets sweetgreen’s Fall Favorite
Maple Glazed Salmon Bowl first appeared nationally in 2026 as part of sweetgreen’s Fall Harvest menu. Despite the name, the salmon itself is miso glazed, with maple syrup, soy sauce, white miso and rice vinegar supplying a savory-sweet glaze. The maple component shows up again on the roasted Brussels sprouts, whose caramelized sweetness plays against the salty salmon particularly well. Cool Napa cabbage slaw adds crunch and acidity, while garlic aioli makes the rice and roasted vegetables considerably less virtuous tasting than they look.
sweetgreen’s ingredient guide gives us unusually good clues for recreating each component, including maple and blackening spice on the Brussels, lime and mint in the slaw and maple, garlic and lemon in the aioli. Altogether it is less a salad than a proper salmon dinner arranged in a bowl, and the individual pieces also work well separately with grilled chicken, shrimp or other roasted vegetables.

Instructions
Prepare the Miso Glaze

- Place salmon in a shallow dish.
- Spoon about half of the glaze over the salmon.
- Turn gently to coat.
- Set remaining glaze aside.
- Let salmon stand while preparing the vegetables.
Prepare the Brussels Sprouts and Sweet Potatoes
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Add Brussels sprouts to one side of a large rimmed baking sheet.
- Drizzle with avocado oil and maple syrup.
- Sprinkle with nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, salt and crushed red pepper.
- Toss until evenly coated.
- Add sweet potatoes to the other side of the baking sheet.
- Drizzle with olive oil.
- Sprinkle with nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder and salt.
- Toss to coat.
- Arrange vegetables in a single layer.
- Roast for 15 minutes.
- Turn vegetables.
- Continue roasting for 10 to 15 minutes, until tender and browned at the edges.
Cook the Salmon
- Place salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Brush with some of the reserved miso glaze.
- Bake at 425°F for 10 to 13 minutes, depending on thickness, until the salmon flakes easily and reaches your preferred doneness.
- Brush lightly with remaining glaze during the final few minutes.
Prepare the Napa Cabbage Slaw
- Add Napa cabbage, red cabbage, carrot and kale to a bowl.
- Add white wine vinegar, lime juice, maple syrup, mint and salt.
- Toss thoroughly.
- Let stand for about 10 minutes before serving.
Prepare the Garlic Aioli

- Drizzle with garlic aioli.

Notes
- sweetgreen’s current salmon glaze uses maple syrup, soy sauce, white miso and rice vinegar, while the Maple Glazed Brussels combine maple syrup with avocado oil, savory umami seasoning and blackening spices.
- For the easiest version, use microwaveable white rice and packaged shredded cabbage. You can also substitute a good bottled miso marinade for the homemade salmon glaze. Authenticity still matters, but Tuesday night also gets a vote.
