Ingredients

  • 2 wild-caught salmon fillets
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp white miso paste
  • 1 tbsp mirin
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 1 bunch scallions
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 tsp fresh grated ginger
  • sea salt to taste

Instructions

1
Begin by patting the salmon fillets completely dry with a paper towel to ensure a perfectly crispy skin.
2
Season lightly with salt.
3
In a cold skillet, place the salmon skin-side down and turn heat to medium-high, pressing gently for 30 seconds to prevent curling.
4
Sear for 5-6 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy, then flip.
5
In a separate small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to foam and turns a nutty, golden brown.
6
Whisk in the miso paste, mirin, maple syrup, and ginger until smooth and emulsified.
7
Toss the scallions into the hot salmon pan for 60 seconds until charred.
8
Brush the warm miso-brown butter glaze generously over the salmon fillets, garnish with charred scallions and sesame seeds, and serve immediately for a restaurant-quality finish.
