Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp white miso paste, 2 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp sake, and 1 tbsp sugar until smooth and set aside as glaze.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pat dry 4 salmon fillets. Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 4 minutes until edges begin to crisp.
  3. Step 3: Flip the salmon and brush the miso glaze generously on the cooked side. Cook for another 3 minutes, basting with remaining glaze until caramelized and salmon is cooked through.
  4. Step 4: Meanwhile, combine 4 thinly sliced scallions, 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sugar, and 1 tbsp water in a small bowl. Toss well to coat and let sit for 5 minutes to meld flavors.
  5. Step 5: Plate the glazed salmon with a generous spoonful of scallion gomae alongside, serving immediately while warm with the glossy miso exterior.
