This miso butter salmon is sweet, savory, and full of flavor. Slightly charred with a flaky, tender interior, this salmon dish couldn’t be more easier to make.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 Salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 6 tbsp Unsalted butter, softened
- 3 tbsp White miso paste
- 1 tbsp Brown sugar
- 2 tsp Fresh ginger, grated
- 1–2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Green onions, sliced thin
Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium-size bowl, combine softened butter, miso paste, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and green onions. Use a spatula to mash together.
- Step 2: Equally divide the miso butter on top of each salmon fillet. Use a butter knife or offset spatula to spread the butter over the entire piece of salmon.
- Step 3: For oven: Preheat oven to 375°. In a large skillet or baking dish, add salmon fillets. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the salmon is opaque and just about done. Then, broil on high for 1-2 minutes until the top of the salmon begins to caramelize.
- Step 4: For air fryer: Preheat air fryer to 400°. Line air fryer basket with parchment paper or foil. Place salmon fillets inside basket and cook for 9-10 minutes. Do not turn.
- Step 5: Place cooked salmon onto a platter. Drizzle remaining butter on top of salmon fillets. Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds and serve with steamed rice and vegetables.
Notes
Make the miso butter in advance and store inside the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Let salmon come to room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking to ensure the fish cooks evenly.
