Prepare the Yuzu-Miso glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, yuzu juice, mirin, soy sauce, and sesame oil until smooth. Set aside.
~3 min - 2
Thinly slice the garlic cloves. Heat 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic slices and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to burn them.
~5 min - 3
Using a slotted spoon, remove the crispy garlic from the oil and drain on paper towels. Reserve the garlic-infused oil.
~1 min - 4
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
~1 min - 5
Heat 1 tablespoon of the reserved garlic-infused oil (or fresh vegetable oil if preferred) in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down (if applicable) and sear for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
~5 min - 6
Flip the salmon and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until almost cooked through.
~3 min - 7
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Spoon the Yuzu-Miso glaze generously over the top of each salmon fillet. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the glaze to caramelize slightly.
~2 min - 8
Remove salmon from the pan and serve immediately, topped with the crispy garlic slivers.

Tips
- For extra crispy garlic, ensure it's sliced very thinly and keep a close eye on it as it fries to prevent burning.
- This glaze is also delicious on other proteins like chicken or tofu, or even brushed onto roasted vegetables.
