Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets (6oz each)
  • 2 tbsp white miso paste
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp mirin
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro minced
  • 1 clove garlic microplaned
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • sea salt to taste

Instructions

1
Begin by patting the salmon fillets thoroughly dry with paper towels to ensure a superior crust.
2
Season lightly with salt, keeping in mind the miso is inherently salty.
3
In a small stainless steel skillet over medium heat, melt the butter, swirling continuously until it develops a nutty, golden-brown aroma and dark amber flecks.
4
Immediately whisk in the miso, mirin, and maple syrup until a glossy, emulsified glaze forms; remove from heat.
5
In a separate bowl, toss together the toasted sesame seeds, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, and lemon zest to create the vibrant gremolata.
6
Sear the salmon in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until the skin is shatteringly crisp.
7
Flip once, brush generously with the warm miso-brown butter glaze, and finish under a broiler for 60 seconds to caramelize.
8
Plate immediately, topping with a heavy spoonful of the sesame gremolata for a textural contrast that balances the rich, umami-heavy glaze.
