Instructions

Step 1: Peel the 1 medium daikon radish and cut into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Place the slices in a saucepan with 1/4 cup water, cover, and simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes until tender.
Step 2: While daikon simmers, mix 2 tbsp white miso paste, 1 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sake, and 1 tsp sugar in a small bowl until smooth.
Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season 2 salmon fillets lightly with salt and place skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy, then flip and cook for another 3 minutes until salmon is just cooked through.
Step 4: Drain the daikon slices and transfer to the skillet. Pour the miso glaze over the daikon and cook for 2-3 minutes, spooning glaze over slices until they are shiny and caramelized.
Step 5: Serve the salmon fillets topped with the miso-glazed daikon slices and garnish with 2 thinly sliced green onions for a fresh finish.
