Instructions

Cut the salmon fillet into 1-inch cubes.
~5 min - 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, mirin, soy sauce, and sesame oil until well combined. This is your miso glaze.
~2 min - 3
Add the salmon cubes to the bowl with the miso glaze and gently toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes.
~10 min - 4
While the salmon is marinating, cut the nori sheets into thin strips or small squares.
~3 min - 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated salmon cubes in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until the salmon is cooked through and has a nice caramelized glaze.
~6 min - 6
Remove the salmon from the pan and arrange on a serving plate. Scatter the nori strips around the salmon.
~1 min
Tips
- For extra crispy nori, briefly toast the nori strips in a dry pan over low heat before serving.
- You can adjust the sweetness and saltiness of the glaze by increasing or decreasing the amount of mirin and soy sauce.
