Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Toss 2 leeks (cut into 1/2-inch slices) with 1 tbsp olive oil. Roast for 20-25 minutes until caramelized and tender, stirring halfway through.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp white miso, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp honey until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper, then sear skin-side down for 3-4 minutes until crispy. Flip and cook for 2-3 minutes until just cooked through.
  4. Step 4: Place salmon on a plate and spoon the miso glaze over the top. Garnish with 1 tbsp sesame seeds before serving.
