Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets (6oz each)
  • 2 tbsp white miso paste
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp mirin
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (diced)
  • 1 tbsp furikake seasoning
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • sea salt to taste

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
Toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil and a pinch of salt, spreading them on a baking sheet to roast for 20 minutes until tender and caramelized.
3
While the potatoes roast, heat the butter in a small skillet over medium heat, swirling constantly until it turns a deep golden brown and smells nutty.
4
Immediately whisk in the miso, mirin, and maple syrup until a glossy glaze forms.
5
Pat the salmon dry and sear skin-side down in a hot pan for 4 minutes.
6
Flip the fillets and brush generously with the miso-brown butter glaze.
7
Finish the salmon in the oven for 5-6 minutes until perfectly flaky.
8
Serve the salmon atop a mound of roasted sweet potatoes and finish with a heavy sprinkle of furikake for added texture and umami complexity.
