Ingredients: ***Miso-Shallot Vinaigrette*** 1/4 cup shiro miso (fermented soybean paste) 1/4 cup sliced shallots 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 2 tablespoons rice vinegar 1/2 teaspoon sugar 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper or togarashi* 1/4 teaspoon Asian sesame oil 3/4 cup canola or grapeseed oil ***Sesame-Crusted Salmon*** 1 pound skinless salmon fillet, cut crosswise into serving pieces 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper 1/4 cup sesame seeds 2 teaspoons canola or grapeseed oil 8 ounces mixed baby salad greens 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
Directions: For Miso-Shallot Vinaigrette: In blender, combine miso, shallots, lemon juice, vinegar, sugar, pepper, and sesame oil; blend until smooth. With blender running, add canola oil in steady stream to emulsify. Cover and refrigerate up to 2 weeks.
For Sesame-Crusted Salmon: Sprinkle salmon with salt and black pepper. Spread sesame seeds on plate. Press both sides of each piece of salmon into seeds to coat.
In non-stick 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot. Add salmon; cook 4 to 6 minutes or until seeds are golden and salmon just loses its pink color throughout, turning salmon over once.
In large bowl, toss salad greens with tomatoes and 1/3 cup Miso-Shallot Vinaigrette. Divide salad among dinner plates; top with salmon.
* Togarashi is a spice blend available at most Asian grocery stores.
