Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets (6oz each)
  • 2 tbsp white miso paste
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1/2 cup finely crushed dried mochi crackers (or toasted panko)
  • 1 tsp black sesame seeds
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 scallions thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar

Instructions

1
Begin by whisking the white miso, honey, ginger, and rice vinegar in a small bowl until smooth to create the umami glaze.
2
Pat the salmon fillets completely dry with a paper towel to ensure the crust adheres properly.
3
Brush a generous layer of the glaze onto the top side of each fillet, then press the side firmly into the crushed mochi crackers and sesame seeds to create a delicate, crispy coating.
4
Heat the avocado oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
5
Carefully place the salmon crust-side down and sear for 3 minutes until golden and shattered-glass crisp.
6
Flip gently and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the center is flaky and moist.
7
Serve immediately garnished with fresh scallions and an extra drizzle of the remaining glaze.
