Description
A flavorful and cozy dish featuring fresh salmon coated in a luxurious miso butter glaze, perfect for family dinners or gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons miso paste
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and cover a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix the miso paste, melted butter, honey, and minced garlic until smooth.
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the baking sheet, squeeze fresh lemon juice over them, and coat with the miso butter glaze.

- For a crispy top, broil for 1-2 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.

Notes
Fresh salmon is optimal, but trout or cod can be used as substitutes. For a lighter option, olive oil can replace the butter.
