Instructions

1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp white miso paste, 2 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp honey until smooth to create the miso glaze.
2. Step 2: Pat dry 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) and brush both sides generously with miso glaze. Let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
3. Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon fillets skin-side down and sear for 4-5 minutes until crisp and golden. Flip and cook another 3-4 minutes until cooked through and glaze caramelizes. Remove salmon and keep warm.
4. Step 4: In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tbsp sesame oil, 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger, 2 cups broccoli florets, 1 cup sliced shiitake mushrooms, and 1 cup sliced red bell pepper. Stir-fry for 5-6 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
5. Step 5: Add 2 sliced green onions and a splash of soy sauce to the vegetables, tossing to combine and heat through. Serve salmon over the vegetables and sprinkle with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds.
