Description
A delightful blend of miso and butter elevates salmon to a new level of flavor, making it perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (skin-on)
- 3 tablespoons miso paste (white or yellow)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- Green onions or chives (for garnish)
- Soy sauce (optional)
- Lemon juice (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, mix together the miso paste, unsalted butter, and minced garlic until smooth.
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet and spread the miso-butter mixture generously over the top.
- Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove from the oven and drizzle with lemon juice, then garnish with chopped green onions or chives.
Notes
Avoid using too much miso to prevent overpowering the dish. Keep the salmon spaced out on the baking sheet for even cooking.
