Creating Miso Butter Salmon with Sizzled Scallion Salsa Verde is straightforward if you follow these steps:
- Prepare the Miso Butter: In a small bowl, combine the miso paste and softened butter. Mix until well blended and set aside.
- Season the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook the Salmon: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets, skin side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crisp. Flip the fillets carefully and cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your desired doneness.
- Add Miso Butter: During the last minute of cooking, spoon the miso butter over the salmon, allowing it to melt and coat the fish.
- Make the Salsa Verde: In a small saucepan, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced scallions and sauté for 1-2 minutes until sizzled and fragrant. Remove from heat.
- Mix Salsa Verde: In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed scallions, fresh parsley, chopped capers, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir well and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Plate the Salmon: Once the salmon is ready, remove it from the skillet and place it on serving plates.
- Top with Salsa Verde: Generously spoon the sizzled scallion salsa verde over the salmon fillets.
- Garnish: If desired, sprinkle with red pepper flakes for a hint of heat.
- Serve: Enjoy your Miso Butter Salmon with Sizzled Scallion Salsa Verde immediately while it’s hot and fresh!
