Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets (6oz each)
  • 1/4 cup white miso paste
  • 2 tbsp wildflower honey
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1/2 cup glutinous rice flour (mochi flour)
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil
  • 1 scallion thinly sliced

Instructions

1
Begin by whisking the miso, honey, rice vinegar, and grated ginger in a small bowl until a smooth, velvety glaze forms.
2
Pat the salmon fillets completely dry with paper towels to ensure the crust adheres properly.
3
Press the skinless side of each salmon fillet firmly into a shallow dish filled with the glutinous rice flour, coating it evenly to create a light, tacky layer.
4
Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
5
Carefully place the salmon, flour-side down, into the pan and sear for 3-4 minutes until a crisp, chewy mochi crust develops.
6
Flip the fillets gently, then brush the miso-honey mixture generously over the seared crust and the flesh side.
7
Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and steam for another 2-3 minutes until the salmon is buttery and opaque.
8
Garnish with sesame seeds and fresh scallions before serving immediately while the crust is texturally vibrant.
