Thaw the fish if frozen. Check your salmon fillet for bones by gently running your fingers along the flesh. Flip the fillet and scrape with a knife blade or a fish scaler against the grain of the scales. Rinse the fillet in salted water to remove any loose scales.
5
Sprinkle each fillet on both sides with a generous dusting of salt and fresh black pepper.
6
Heat some oil over high heat in a heavy skillet. Place the salmon skin-side down in the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-high and let the skin cook untouched for 8-10 minutes. Gently scrape the skin from the pan with a fish spatula, then flip the fillet. Cook on the fleshy side for about 5 minutes.
7
Place the sesame seeds in a sauté pan over medium-low heat. Keep the seeds moving constantly by stirring or swirling the pan. Continue until the seeds begin to darken to a golden brown.
8
Add the rice vinegar. Watch out, this can be a little volatile.

Add the soy sauce.
10

11
Add the miso and stir to blend.

Slide the cooked salmon fillets into the sauce and flip to glaze.
