Instructions

Step 1: Pat dry 4 salmon filets and season both sides with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.

Step 3: Flip the salmon and cook for another 2-3 minutes until just cooked through.
Step 4: Meanwhile, whisk together 3 tbsp white miso paste, 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tsp grated ginger in a small bowl until smooth.
Step 5: Spoon the citrus-miso glaze over the salmon in the skillet and cook for 1 minute until the glaze is warm and slightly thickened.
Step 6: Remove salmon from heat and garnish with 2 thinly sliced green onions before serving.
