Ingredients

- 1 lb. Scottish salmon, deboned, skin on
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds, as garnish
Miso-Mustard Sauce:
- 1 tablespoon red miso paste
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons apricot fruit spread
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon warm water , helps dissolve the miso and sugar in the honey
Equipment
- 11-inch skillet
Instructions
Prepare the mustard-miso sauce:
- In a small bowl, combine the red miso, apricot spread, Dijon mustard, honey, rice vinegar, warm water, and low sodium soy sauce. Stir until well combined and smooth.
Prepare the salmon:
- Remove the salmon from the package. Make sure it is deboned.
- Pat the salmon dry using paper towel.
- Season the filet with a pinch of salt. Just a small amount because the red miso carries a very salty flavor.
- Heat an 11-inch skillet over medium high heat.
- Once the pan is hot, you’ll drizzle the salmon with olive oil right before you add it to the pan. Meat side down.
- Sear for 5-6 minutes before turning. If the salmon is getting too dark, reduce the heat.
- Sear for another 5-6 minutes skin side down. This will give you a medium to medium-well temperature on your salmon. This also will vary based on the thickness of your salmon fillets.
- Once the salmon is almost done, gently brush the mustard-miso glaze on the salmon.
- Once the salmon is cooked to your liking, remove it from the pan.
- Dust the glazed salmon with toasted sesame seeds.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
