Miso Butter Salmon
A few simple ingredients - one delicious dish! Introducing our Easy Miso Butter Salmon recipe! Pan-frying salmon is the best way to cook it quickly, whilst glazing ensures it stays moist and flaky. Butter seasoned with miso and soy sauce does a perfect job of making this healthy meal flavoursome and effortlessly sophisticated!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 30 g unsalted butter softened
- 20 g white miso paste
- 1 teaspoon caster or light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon rice or white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 2 salmon fillets we used skin-on salmon.
To Garnish (Optional):
- 1 spring onion finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon sesame seeds
- ¼ teaspoon chilli flakes
Instructions
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the oil and ⅓ of the butter. Add the salmon filets skin side up into a hot pan, and pan fry for about 4-5 minutes.
- In the meantime, in a small bowl, mix the remaining ⅔ of room temperature butter, miso, soy sauce, sugar and vinegar.
- Reduce the heat to low. Carefully flip the salmon fillets so that they are skin-side down and spoon miso butter all over the top. Continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes (or until the salmon is cooked through). It is recommended to cook salmon to 63°C (145° F), however, most restaurant chefs prefer it cooked to 52-58°C.
- Serve the fish with plenty of sauce spooned over the top of the salmon and with garnishes of your choice!
