Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Make the glaze first, then prepare salmon.
2 pounds salmon
Place lemon juice, soy sauce, miso paste, vinegar, mustard powder, and 1 teaspoon of corn starch in a small pot and whisk. Turn heat to medium and bring to a boil, then simmer 2 minutes, whisking periodically, until thickened.
1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons miso paste, 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon mustard powder, 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Heat heavy pan on medium high. Pat salmon dry with a paper towel, and cut salmon into 4-6 ounce fillets.
Mix together 2 tablespoons brown sugar with remaining 1 teaspoon cornstarch.
Pepper salmon, and rub both sides with brown sugar mixture.
2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, pepper
Add oil to heating pan, and place into the pan - not all will fit at once.
Cook each side for 2-3 minutes to create a crust before flipping. Once cooked on both sides, remove to a lined baking sheet and cook the next batch.
Brush glaze over both sides of the fish, then bake in 425 degree oven for 7-10 minutes or until flaky and still moist.

Your bake time will vary based on the thickness of your fillets. If you have thin fillets, reduce the bake time and check it.
While the salmon fillets are baking, I use the pan I cooked the fish in to make a side dish of spinach. I mince a little garlic and use the oil already in the pan to saute it. They finish about the same time, and it's a perfect easy meal.
