Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- 2
In a small bowl, whisk together white miso paste, yuzu juice, honey, soy sauce, and sesame oil until well combined.
~3 min - 3
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
~1 min - 4
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking tray. Spoon the yuzu-miso glaze generously over each fillet.
~2 min - 5
Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through and flaky.
~15 min - 6
While the salmon is baking, prepare the crispy rice. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the cooked sushi rice, pressing it down to form patties. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
~10 min - 7
In a separate small bowl, mix the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil with the finely chopped scallions.
~1 min - 8
Serve the glazed salmon immediately over the crispy rice cakes. Drizzle with the scallion-sesame oil mixture and garnish with extra chopped scallions.

Tips
- Ensure the rice is properly cooled before pressing into patties for crispier results. Chilled rice from the refrigerator works best.
- The yuzu-miso glaze can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Adjust seasoning before glazing if needed.
