Steps

1. 1

   In a small bowl, combine ginger, miso, honey, vinegar, oil, and 1 tablespoon of water. Whisk the ingredients together until well blended to create the sauce. Set the sauce aside for later use.

2. 2

   Begin by heating a small skillet over medium heat. Add sesame seeds to the skillet and toast them, stirring continuously, until they turn golden and release a pleasant fragrance, which should take around 2 minutes. Once toasted, transfer the sesame seeds to a small bowl and allow them to cool down before using.

3. 3

   Begin by seasoning the salmon with a light sprinkling of salt. Place the salmon in a cold cast-iron skillet with the skin side facing down. Heat the skillet over medium heat and let the salmon cook without moving it for about 5 minutes. Use a fish spatula to gently press down on the salmon to ensure even contact between the skin and the pan. Continue cooking until most of the flesh turns opaque while the top remains slightly translucent, which should take an additional 5 minutes for crispy skin perfection.
