Servings: persons

1
Make the miso sauce.
2
Combine the miso paste, dashi, honey, sesame oil, vinegar, and white wine in a small bowl.
3
Stir, and add more wine 1 teaspoon at a time until a thick sauce forms.
4
Taste, and add more of any ingredient youd like.
5
Heat a large skillet to medium low heat with a drizzle of oil.
6
Sprinkle the fish lightly with salt.
7
When the pan is hot, place it skin side up (if using skin-on fillets) for 2 minutes to start gently cooking the fish.
8
When the fish starts to turn opaque on the bottom, flip it so the other side can start to cook.
9
While the second side of the fish is cooking, spread miso sauce on the top of the fish (the side that has already been cooked), using roughly 1-2 tablespoons per fillet.
10
Finish cooking the fish to your liking.
11
For me that was about 4 more minutes for both sides of the fish to be cooked with about 1/2 inch of medium-rare salmon in the center.
12
Cooking the fish on medium-low allows it to cook through very gently without drying out.
13
Serve with a squirt of hot sauce, if youd like.
