Chef's Notes

Pro tip: Marinate salmon in the miso marinade for a minimum of 1 hour at room temperature for maximum flavor!
Pro tip: For best results, use filets the same thickness to ensure that they’re done at the same time. Salmon that is 1/2″ thick is typically done in 5 minutes, and 1″ thick is done in 8-10 minutes.
Miso paste is a soy bean paste that can be found in the refrigerated area of the natural food sections at most supermarkets. White miso has the mildest flavor.
For toasted sesame seeds, heat the sesame seeds in a small skillet over medium low heat until golden and fragrant, 3-5 minutes.
