One Pot Salmon in a Honey Miso Glaze
Take your weeknight salmon to a whole new level with a sweet and savory honey miso glaze.
Ingredients
- 4 skin-on salmon fillets 4-6 oz.
- 1 stem ginger 2 inches
- 2 Tbsp. white miso
- 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
- 1 Tbsp. unseasoned rice vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. honey
- 1 Tbsp. sesame seeds
- 3 scallions
- Kosher salt
Instructions
-
Make the honey-miso glaze: Peel 2 inches of ginger. Grate the ginger into a small bowl.
-
Add the miso, vinegar, oil, honey, and water to the bowl with the grated ginger. Taste and adjust the seasonings where needed.
-
Heat a small skillet over medium heat and toast sesame seeds. Make sure to toss frequently until they are lightly golden brown. Be quick, they may burn.
-
Trim and slice 3 scallions crosswise.
-
Season the salmon fillets on all sides with salt and pepper. Place skin sides down in a cold, cast-iron skillet. Heat the skillet over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes.
-
Continue to cook on skin side down until the fish is opaque and cooked. The skin will release from the pan when it is crispy, don't try to rush it.
-
Using a spatula, gently flip the fillets, then remove the pan from the heat.
-
Continue to cook off-heat 1 minute longer for regular-sized fillets, but very thick ones might be about 2-3 minutes more. The inside should be still a little pink and translucent.
