Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp white miso paste, 1 tbsp mirin, 1 tsp rice vinegar, and 1/2 tsp sugar until smooth. Reserve 1 tbsp for basting.
  2. Step 2: Place 2 salmon fillets (skin-side down) in a shallow dish and brush the miso glaze mixture evenly over the flesh side. Let marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
  3. Step 3: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush with 1 tsp sesame oil. Add the salmon skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crisp. Flip and brush with 1 tbsp reserved miso glaze. Grill for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and the glaze is slightly caramelized.
  4. Step 4: Meanwhile, in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, add 12 oz trimmed asparagus pieces and cook for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.
  5. Step 5: Serve the salmon with the asparagus, garnished with 1 tsp sesame seeds.
