Creating Miso Butter Salmon with Sizzled Scallion Salsa Verde is straightforward by following these easy steps:
- Prepare the Miso Butter: In a small bowl, combine the miso paste and softened butter. Mix until smooth and set aside.
- Season the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry using paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Cook the Salmon: Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, then flip and spread the miso butter generously over the top. Cook for another 4-5 minutes until done to your liking.
- Sizzle the Scallions: In the same or another skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced scallions and cook until they are tender and slightly crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice, parsley, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes if using.
- Serve: Plate the salmon, draping with the sizzled scallion salsa verde on top. Enjoy immediately while it’s warm!
