Yuzu-Miso Glazed Salmon with Crispy Garlic

   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.

   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

   Using a slotted spoon, remove the crispy garlic from the oil and drain on paper towels. Reserve the garlic-infused oil.
