Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets (6oz each)
  • 2 tbsp white miso paste
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp mirin
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 2 tbsp furikake seasoning
  • 1/4 cup sliced scallions
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil

Instructions

1
Begin by patting your salmon fillets completely dry with paper towels; moisture is the enemy of a perfect sear.
2
Heat a stainless steel or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat with sesame oil.
3
Place salmon skin-side down and press gently with a spatula for 30 seconds to ensure uniform contact.
4
Sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin is shatteringly crisp.
5
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it turns a deep, nutty golden brown.
6
Whisk in the miso, mirin, and maple syrup until emulsified into a glossy glaze.
7
Flip the salmon and cook for another 2 minutes.
8
Pour the miso-brown butter glaze over the fillets, allowing it to bubble and caramelize for 30 seconds.
9
Serve the salmon immediately over a bed of warm quinoa, generously sprinkled with furikake and fresh scallions.
