Ingredients

Scale

For the Salmon

  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 2 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey

For the Sizzled Scallion Salsa Verde

  • 1 bunch scallions, sliced
  • 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Miso Butter Glaze: In a small bowl, combine the white miso paste, soy sauce, and honey until smooth. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the unsalted butter until fully incorporated to create a rich miso butter glaze.
  2. Cook the Salmon: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and let it melt. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip the fillets and brush generously with the miso butter glaze. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the salmon is cooked to your preferred doneness.
  3. Prepare the Sizzled Scallion Salsa Verde: Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the sliced scallions and sauté until they are softened and lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes. In a bowl, combine the toasted scallions, chopped parsley, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste and mix well.
  4. Assemble and Serve: Place the cooked salmon on plates and spoon the sizzled scallion salsa verde generously over the top. Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes.

Notes

  • Ensure the salmon is fresh for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you prefer a thicker glaze, you can gently heat the miso butter mixture before applying it to the salmon.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of honey to make the glaze sweeter or more savory according to your taste.
  • The salsa verde is best served fresh but can be made a few hours ahead and refrigerated.
  • Pair this dish with steamed rice or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal.
