Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp white miso paste, 1 tbsp yuzu juice, and 1 tbsp soy sauce to create a glaze. Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish and brush the glaze evenly over both sides.
Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon fillets and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until the edges are crispy and the fish is just cooked through.
Step 3: Transfer the salmon to a serving plate and sprinkle with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds. Garnish with additional yuzu zest for a bright, citrusy finish.
