Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp white miso paste, 2 tbsp tamari sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp grated fresh ginger, and 1 clove minced garlic until smooth.
Step 2: Pat dry 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) and season lightly with salt. Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 3: Place salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crisp and golden.
Step 4: Flip the fillets, reduce heat to medium, and brush the miso-tamari glaze over the top of each salmon. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and the glaze is caramelized.
Step 5: Remove from heat and drizzle 1 tbsp sesame oil over the fillets. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 tbsp sliced green onions before serving.
