  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry and brush each with the miso glaze. Let marinate at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.
  3. Heat a tablespoon of neutral oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped kimchi for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Stir in gochujang, then add the cooked rice. Cook, stirring, for 4-5 minutes and season.
  4. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment and place the marinated salmon skin-side down. Broil for 6-8 minutes or roast for 10-12 minutes until cooked.
  5. To serve, spoon kimchi fried rice onto each plate, top with salmon, and garnish with sesame seeds and optional toppings.
