Description
A delicious and easy-to-make Miso Butter Salmon topped with sizzled scallions, perfect for a healthy dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons miso paste (white or yellow)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 4 scallions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix together the miso paste, softened butter, honey, soy sauce, and sesame oil until well combined.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Spread the miso butter mixture evenly over the top of each fillet.
- Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- While the salmon is baking, heat the vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped scallions and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they are tender and slightly crispy.
- Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Top with the sautéed scallions and sprinkle with sesame seeds if using.
Notes
- For added flavor, marinate the salmon in the miso mixture for 30 minutes before baking.
- Serve the salmon over a bed of steamed rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
