Ingredients

2 salmon fillets (6oz each)
2 tbsp white miso paste
3 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp mirin
1 cup cooked quinoa
2 tbsp chili crunch oil
1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
1 scallion thinly sliced
1 tsp lime zest

Instructions

First, prepare the glaze by melting butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until it turns nutty brown; whisk in the white miso and mirin until emulsified and set aside.

Pat the salmon fillets dry and season lightly with salt.

Sear the salmon in a hot skillet, skin-side down, until crisp, then flip and spoon the miso-brown butter glaze liberally over the flesh.

Finish in the oven for three minutes until opaque.

Meanwhile, toss the cooked quinoa in a separate pan with the chili crunch oil until it develops a golden, crispy texture.

To plate, serve the glazed salmon over a generous bed of the crispy chili quinoa, garnishing with toasted sesame seeds, sliced scallions, and a bright pop of fresh lime zest for acidity.
