Ingredients
Scale
Salmon
- 4 Salmon fillets, 6 oz each
Miso Butter
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 3 tablespoons White miso paste
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Fresh ginger, grated
- 1–2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, sliced thin
Instructions
- Prepare Miso Butter: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened butter, white miso paste, brown sugar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sliced green onions. Use a spatula to thoroughly mash and mix all ingredients together until smooth and well incorporated.
- Apply Miso Butter to Salmon: Divide the prepared miso butter equally over each salmon fillet. Using a butter knife or offset spatula, spread the butter evenly over the entire surface of each piece.
- Oven Cooking (Optional): Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the salmon fillets in a large skillet or baking dish. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the salmon is opaque and almost cooked through. Then switch the oven to broil on high and broil the salmon for 1-2 minutes to caramelize the top.
- Air Fryer Cooking (Optional): Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (204°C). Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper or foil to prevent sticking. Place the salmon fillets inside the basket and cook for 9-10 minutes without flipping.
- Serve: Transfer the cooked salmon fillets to a platter. Drizzle any remaining miso butter over the top. Garnish with additional green onions and toasted sesame seeds if desired. Serve alongside steamed rice and vegetables for a complete and balanced meal.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of miso paste or brown sugar to taste, depending on your preference for sweetness and saltiness.
- For extra garnish, toasted sesame seeds add a lovely nutty flavor and crunch.
- Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing with the miso and other ingredients.
- If you prefer a less sweet version, reduce or omit the brown sugar.
- Make sure not to overcook the salmon; it should remain moist and tender with a slightly caramelized top.
- This recipe is easy to double or halve depending on serving needs.
