In a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, mirin, soy sauce, sesame oil, and grated ginger to create the glaze. Set aside.
~3 min - 2
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Lightly season with salt and pepper if desired.
~2 min - 3
Heat the non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced shiitake mushrooms and sauté until softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
~7 min - 4
Push the mushrooms to one side of the pan. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down (if applicable) in the cleared space. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crisp.
~4 min - 5
Flip the salmon fillets and brush the miso glaze generously over the top of each fillet. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the glaze is caramelized.
~5 min - 6
Warm the cooked rice if necessary. Divide the rice into two serving bowls.
~2 min - 7
Top the rice with the glazed salmon and sautéed shiitake mushrooms. Garnish with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds.
