Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets (6oz each)
  • 2 tbsp white miso paste
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 2 cups cooked short-grain sushi rice
  • 1 tbsp chili crisp oil
  • 2 scallions thinly sliced
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

1
Begin by pressing your cooked sushi rice into a lined square pan, chilling for 30 minutes, then cutting into discs.
2
Heat a tablespoon of neutral oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet and sear the rice cakes until golden and audibly crispy on both sides.
3
In the same pan, melt the butter over medium heat until it foams and turns a nutty, golden-brown color.
4
Whisk in the miso, maple syrup, and rice vinegar to form a glossy, emulsified glaze.
5
Add the salmon fillets, skin-side down, cooking until the skin is crisp.
6
Spoon the miso-brown butter glaze continuously over the fish for 4 minutes until perfectly opaque and caramelized.
7
Plate the salmon atop the crispy rice cakes, drizzling the remaining pan glaze over the top and finishing with a generous spoonful of chili crisp, fresh scallions, and sesame seeds.
