Instructions

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.
Step 2: Pat dry 4 salmon fillets and brush the miso glaze generously over the top of each fillet. Let marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
Step 3: Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add 8 oz soba noodles, and cook for 5 minutes until tender but firm. Drain and rinse under cold water, then toss with 2 tsp sesame oil and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger.
Step 4: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets glaze-side down and cook for 4 minutes until caramelized and golden.
Step 5: Flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through and flaky.
Step 6: Divide the ginger soba noodles among plates, top each with a salmon fillet, and garnish with 2 sliced green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds.
