salmon fillets

🥗Healthier: trout fillets

💰Cheaper: canned salmon

Trout is a healthier fish option, while canned salmon is more economical.

Combine miso paste, rice vinegar, sugar, sake, soy sauce, and honey in a small bowl.

Grate ginger and add it to the miso mixture, then whisk until smooth.

Coat the salmon fillets evenly with the miso glaze.

Let the salmon marinate in the fridge for about 15 to 30 minutes.

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a small amount of oil.

Place the salmon skin side down in the pan and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes until the skin is crisp and the salmon is halfway cooked.

Flip the salmon carefully and brush on a little extra glaze.

Cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and the glaze is caramelized.

Serve the salmon over steamed rice or on a plate, drizzled with any extra glaze from the pan, and garnish with green onions or sesame seeds.
