Step 1
Whisk miso and mirin in a small bowl until smooth. Pat salmon skin-side dry.
Step 2
Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Gently lower eggs in; set timer for 6 minutes.
Step 3
While water heats, brush miso glaze evenly on salmon flesh side; let sit 2 minutes.
Step 4
Heat a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 60 seconds.
Step 5
Place salmon skin-side up in the skillet. Sear 4 minutes without moving; skin should crisp.

Remove eggs from water when timer goes off. Peel under cool running water.

Place one soft-boiled egg in each bowl. Add pickled ginger on the side.
