Miso Glazed Salmon (Pan-fried)
This recipe for Miso Glazed Salmon pan-fries salmon fillets coated with a miso-based glaze. The glaze combines yellow miso paste, sake, garlic, soy sauce, and brown sugar, which is added to the salmon in the pan after searing. The salmon is coated lightly with potato starch before frying skin-side down in toasted sesame oil to achieve a crisp exterior. It is cooked until medium-rare to medium with a tender, moist interior. The green onion garnish adds fresh color.
