Servings – 2-4

Ingredients

• • 1/8 cup Miso Paste
  • 1/8 cup Mirin
  • 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce or Tamari
  • 2 Tbsp Rice Wine Vinegar
  • 1 tsp Sesame Oil
  • 1 Thumb of grated Fresh Ginger
  • 3 Green Onions (chopped)
  • Black Sesame Seeds (Optional)

2. Meanwhile, place a cast iron pan over a medium high heat and season with a high temperature oil such as coconut or avocado oil. Once nice and hot, place the salmon skin side up and sear the pink part of the salmon to seal in the juices. Cook for 3-4 minutes and flip to the other side. start spooning more of the mixture on top of the salmon while the other side cooks. I personally like my salmon cooked medium rare but you can keep on longer if you want to cook it through.

3. Place the salmon on a board to allow to rest for a couple of minutes. Chop green onion and sprinkle on top along with some black sesame seeds. Serve on a bed of rice and assorted vegetables.
