Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp white miso paste, 2 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp brown sugar until smooth to create the glaze.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pat dry 4 salmon fillets and sear skin-side down for 4 minutes until crispy. Flip salmon and brush each fillet generously with the miso glaze. Cook an additional 3 minutes until the glaze is caramelized and salmon is cooked through.
  3. Step 3: Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook 8 oz soba noodles according to package instructions (usually 5-6 minutes). Drain and rinse under cold water.
  4. Step 4: Toss the soba noodles with 2 tbsp sesame oil and 4 thinly sliced green onions until evenly coated.
  5. Step 5: Serve the miso-glazed salmon on a bed of sesame soba noodles and sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds on top for a nutty crunch.
