Ingredients

Scale

 

  • Miso Butter Salmon
    • 2 salmon filets (about 1–1.5 lbs)
    • 1 tbsp white miso paste
    • 2 tbsp butter (room temperature)
    • Black pepper
  • Sizzled Scallion Salsa Verde
    • 2 large scallions, finely chopped
    • 1 shallot, sliced
    • 4 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1/2 tsp Aleppo or crushed red pepper
    • 1/4 cup olive oil
    • 2 tbsp cilantro, roughly chopped
    • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
    • Juice of 1/2 lemon

Substitutions:

  • Replace butter with a dairy-free option for lactose intolerance.
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce if miso is unavailable.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F.

Step 2: In a small bowl, mash the miso paste and butter together with a fork. Spread this mixture evenly on top of the salmon filets and season lightly with black pepper.

Step 3: Place the salmon filets on a baking sheet, skin side down, and bake for 15 minutes or until the salmon is flaky and tender.

Step 4: While the salmon is baking, prepare the salsa verde. Combine scallions, shallots, garlic, and red pepper in a medium bowl.

Step 5: Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat until hot, but not smoking. Pour the heated oil over the salsa mixture. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then stir in cilantro, red wine vinegar, and lemon juice.

Step 6: Once the salmon is ready, serve it over rice or fresh greens and spoon the salsa verde generously on top.

Equipment

Notes

  • Fresh is best: Use fresh salmon for a richer flavor and firmer texture.
  • Control the saltiness: Miso paste is naturally salty, so avoid adding extra salt.
  • Oil temperature: Ensure the olive oil is hot but not smoking to infuse the flavors without burning the ingredients.
