Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp white miso paste, 2 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, and 1 tbsp grapeseed oil until smooth and well combined.
Step 2: Pat dry 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) with paper towels and brush the miso glaze evenly over the top of each fillet.
Step 3: Preheat your gas grill to medium heat, about 350°F, and oil the grill grates with a brush or oil-soaked paper towel.
Step 4: Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill and cook for 5-6 minutes without moving, then carefully flip and grill the flesh side for another 3-4 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 5: Remove salmon from the grill and immediately sprinkle with 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds for added crunch and flavor.
Step 6: Serve with fresh lemon wedges to squeeze over the top for brightness.
