Ingredients
  

  • 4 fillets Salmon Choose fillets that are about 6 oz each for optimal cooking.
  • 6 tbsp Unsalted butter Make sure the butter is softened to mix easily with other ingredients.
  • 3 tbsp White miso paste Adds a unique umami flavor that enhances the salmon beautifully.
  • 1 tbsp Brown sugar Provides a hint of sweetness to balance the savory elements.
  • 2 tsp Fresh ginger Grated ginger gives a fresh and zesty kick to the dish.
  • 1-2 cloves Garlic Minced garlic adds depth and richness to the overall flavor profile.
  • 2 tbsp Green onions Sliced thin, these will serve as a garnish, adding color and freshness.

Method
 

  1. In a medium-size bowl, combine softened butter, miso paste, brown sugar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sliced green onions. Use a spatula to mash everything together until well blended and creamy.
  2. Equally divide the miso butter mixture on top of each salmon fillet. Using a butter knife or an offset spatula, spread the compound butter over the entire surface of each piece of salmon for maximum flavor.
  3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large skillet or baking dish, place the salmon fillets inside and bake them for 12-15 minutes until they are opaque and nearly cooked through. To finish off, broil on high for 1-2 minutes until the tops become beautifully caramelized.
  4. If you prefer using an air fryer, preheat it to 400°F (200°C). Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper or foil before placing the salmon fillets inside. Cook for approximately 9-10 minutes without turning them over; they will be perfectly cooked and tender.
  5. Once cooked, transfer the salmon onto a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining miso butter on top of the fillets and garnish with additional green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve alongside steamed rice and vegetables for a complete meal.
