Instructions

  1. Step 1: Season 4 skin-on salmon fillets evenly with 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper on both sides.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp white miso paste, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tsp sesame oil until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 5-6 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden.
  4. Step 4: Flip the fillets and brush generously with the miso glaze. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and the glaze is caramelized and sticky.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 thinly sliced scallions over the top before serving.
