Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp white miso paste, 2 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, and 1 tsp sesame oil until smooth and well combined.
Step 2: Pat dry 4 pieces of 6 oz salmon fillets and brush each generously with the miso glaze on all sides. Let them marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Step 3: Heat 2 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 4-5 minutes until the edges are crispy and golden.
Step 4: Flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the glaze caramelizes and the salmon is cooked through but still moist.
Step 5: Remove from heat and plate the salmon. Garnish with 2 thinly sliced green onions and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds before serving.
