Instructions

1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp white miso paste, 2 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp sake, and 1 tbsp soy sauce until smooth to make the miso glaze.
2. Step 2: Pat dry 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) and brush both sides generously with the miso glaze. Let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
3. Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until the edges crisp and the skin releases easily.
4. Step 4: Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the glaze caramelizes and the salmon is just cooked through. Remove from pan and keep warm.
5. Step 5: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil. Sauté 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 tsp minced ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant.
6. Step 6: Add 1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms and 1 cup trimmed snow peas, stir-frying for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
7. Step 7: Season the stir fry with black pepper and toss in 2 sliced scallions. Serve salmon fillets atop the vegetable stir fry, sprinkled with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds.
