Ingredients
  

  • 4 fillets salmon (6 oz each)
  • 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

Equipment

  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Spatula
  • Baking dish or skillet
  • Oven or air fryer
  • Sharp knife

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine softened butter, miso paste, brown sugar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sliced green onions. Mix until smooth.
  2. Divide the miso butter mixture evenly over the four salmon fillets and spread it generously.
  3. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Place the salmon in a baking dish and bake for 12–15 minutes. Turn on the broiler for an additional 1–2 minutes to caramelize the top.
  4. Alternatively, preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Cook the salmon for 9–10 minutes without flipping.
  5. Serve the salmon on a platter, drizzling any remaining butter from the pan over the fillets and garnishing with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Consider substituting red miso for a stronger flavor if white miso is unavailable. Use honey instead of brown sugar for a liquid sweetener alternative. For a dairy-free version, replace regular butter with vegan butter. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to avoid drying out the salmon. For meal prep, freeze raw salmon with the miso butter applied for a quick future meal.
