Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets (6oz each)
  • 2 tbsp white miso paste
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp mirin
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp furikake seasoning
  • 1 stalk thinly sliced scallion
  • 1 tsp toasted black sesame seeds

Instructions

1
Begin by patting the salmon fillets bone-dry with paper towels to ensure a glass-like crispy skin.
2
Season lightly with salt.
3
In a small heavy-bottomed skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to foam and turn a nutty, golden-brown hue.
4
Whisk in the miso paste, mirin, and maple syrup until emulsified into a silky glaze.
5
Remove from heat.
6
In a separate non-stick pan, heat sesame oil until shimmering.
7
Place salmon skin-side down and sear for 5-6 minutes without moving it, allowing the skin to render and crisp perfectly.
8
Flip the fish, brush generously with the miso-brown butter glaze, and cook for another 2 minutes until opaque and flaky.
9
Plate immediately, drizzling the remaining glaze over the top and finishing with a vibrant sprinkle of furikake, sliced scallions, and black sesame seeds for an unforgettable crunch.
