Ingredients

  • 2 wild-caught salmon fillets
  • 2 tbsp white miso paste
  • 1 tbsp organic honey
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 clove grated garlic
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 thinly sliced scallions

Instructions

1
Begin by whisking the white miso, honey, rice vinegar, and grated garlic in a small bowl until a smooth, viscous glaze forms.
2
Pat the salmon fillets completely dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt.
3
Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter.
4
Allow the butter to foam and transition into a nutty, golden-brown 'beurre noisette'.
5
Carefully place the salmon skin-side down in the butter.
6
Sear for 4 minutes until the skin is shatteringly crisp.
7
Flip the fillets and reduce the heat to low.
8
Pour the miso-honey mixture into the pan, basting the fish continuously for 2 minutes as the sauce caramelizes into a glossy, umami-rich coating.
9
Remove from heat immediately, garnish with toasted sesame seeds and fresh scallions, and serve over steamed jasmine rice.
