Step-by-Step Instructions for Miso Butter Salmon
- In a medium bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of softened unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons of white miso paste, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of grated fresh ginger, and 1 clove of minced garlic. Mix until well blended and smooth to create the miso butter.
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on a lined baking sheet or in a suitable oven-safe skillet. Evenly divide the miso butter mixture over each fillet, ensuring each piece is generously coated.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), then bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes until done, becoming opaque and flaking easily with a fork. For extra caramelization, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- For air frying, preheat to 400°F (200°C), line the air fryer basket with parchment, then cook the coated salmon fillets for 9-10 minutes without flipping.
- Transfer the cooked fillets to a serving platter, drizzle remaining miso butter on top, and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables.

Notes
Store any leftover miso butter salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow salmon to come to room temperature for even cooking. Miso paste can be found in the refrigerated section near tofu.
