• 15 ml unseasoned rice vinegar

How to make Crispy-skin salmon with miso-honey sauce

1. Whisk together the ginger, miso, honey, vinegar, oil, and 15 ml of water in a small bowl until well combined. Set the sauce aside.

2. Heat a dry frying pan over medium heat. Toast the sesame seeds, tossing occasionally, until golden and slightly fragrant, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and allow to cool.

3. Lightly season the salmon fillets with salt. Place them skin side down in an unheated cast-iron frying pan. Set the pan over medium heat and cook undisturbed for 5 minutes. Press down lightly on the salmon with a fish spatula to ensure the skin is in contact with the pan. Continue cooking until the flesh is mostly opaque (the top will remain slightly translucent) and the skin is crisp, about 5 minutes longer.

4. Using the spatula, carefully turn the fillets over, then remove the pan from the heat. Allow the residual heat in the pan to finish cooking the fish until just barely cooked through, about 1–3 minutes more, depending on the thickness of the fillets.

5. Spoon the reserved sauce onto plates. Serve with a scoop of rice, placing the salmon fillets skin side up on top of the rice. Scatter the scallions over the salmon and sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds.
