Instructions

Step 1: Whisk rice wine, white miso paste, honey, and 1 tsp toasted sesame oil in a bowl until smooth. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and brush evenly with 3/4 of the miso mixture.
Step 2: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 5 minutes until golden and crispy, then flip and cook for 3 minutes more.
Step 3: Brush remaining miso mixture over salmon, sprinkle with sesame seeds and lemon zest, and cook for 1 minute until sauce bubbles and thickens slightly.
