Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets (6oz each)
  • 2 tbsp white miso paste
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 clove grated garlic
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 thinly sliced scallion

Instructions

1
Begin by patting the salmon fillets thoroughly dry with paper towels to ensure a superior, crispy sear.
2
Heat a stainless steel or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat with a neutral oil.
3
Place the salmon skin-side down and sear undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until the skin is perfectly crisp.
4
Flip the fillets carefully.
5
In the same pan, lower the heat to medium and add the butter.
6
Allow it to melt and foam until it turns a deep golden brown, emitting a nutty aroma.
7
Whisk in the miso paste, maple syrup, rice vinegar, and garlic until a smooth, glossy emulsion forms.
8
Baste the salmon repeatedly with this liquid gold for 2 minutes.
9
Remove from heat, garnish with fresh scallions and sesame seeds, and serve immediately while the glaze is warm and syrupy.
