Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp white miso paste, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tsp sesame oil until smooth and set aside.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Pat dry 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) and season lightly with salt.
Step 3: Place salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes until the skin is crisp and edges turn opaque.
Step 4: Carefully flip the salmon and spoon the miso-soy glaze over each fillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the glaze thickens slightly and coats the salmon.
Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 thinly sliced green onions and 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds before serving.
