Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons white miso paste, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons water until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Step 2: Place 2 salmon fillets (4 oz each) skin-side down in a shallow dish, then brush the entire miso mixture evenly over the flesh side.
  3. Step 3: Let the salmon marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
  4. Step 4: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 6-7 minutes until the skin is crispy and the salmon reaches 125°F internally.
  5. Step 5: In a separate pan, heat a drizzle of oil over medium heat and add 1 cup trimmed asparagus, cooking for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
  6. Step 6: Transfer the salmon to a plate, top with the asparagus, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sesame seeds and 1 tablespoon sliced green onions.
