Finely mince the black garlic cloves. In a small bowl, whisk together the minced black garlic, white miso paste, mirin, soy sauce, and sesame oil until a smooth glaze forms.
~5 min - 2
Thinly slice the shallots into rings. Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the shallots and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
~10 min - 3
Wipe out the frying pan. Place the salmon fillets, skin-side down if applicable, into the pan over medium-high heat. Sear for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy.
~4 min - 4
Flip the salmon fillets. Brush the tops generously with the miso-black garlic glaze. Cook for another 4-6 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
~6 min - 5
Transfer the glazed salmon to serving plates. Sprinkle generously with the crispy fried shallots.

Tips
- For extra crispy shallots, ensure they are sliced very thinly and fried in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- This glaze can be prepared a day in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
