Instructions

  1. 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 to create the glaze.
  2. Step 2: Pat 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) dry with paper towels and brush the glaze generously over the top of each fillet. Let marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Preheat a gas grill to medium heat (about 375°F). Oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Step 4: Place salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill. Cook for 5-6 minutes without moving, then carefully flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the glaze is caramelized and the salmon flakes easily.
  5. Step 5: While salmon grills, combine 4 thinly sliced scallions, 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp sesame oil, and 1 tsp grated fresh ginger in a bowl. Toss well.
  6. Step 6: Serve the grilled salmon topped with the scallion and sesame salad for a bright contrast.
