Miso Butter Salmon
This miso butter salmon is sweet, savory, and full of flavor. Slightly charred with a flaky, tender interior, this salmon dish couldn't be easier to make.
Equipment
- Large Skillet (oven-safe) (I like cast-iron, it goes from stove/oven to table and keeps food warm)
- Air-Fryer (optional method)
Ingredients
- 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
- In a medium-size bowl, combine softened butter, miso paste, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and green onions. Use a spatula to mash together.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
