Instructions

Creating Miso Butter Salmon with Sizzled Scallion Salsa Verde can be uncomplicated if you follow these steps:

  1. Prepare Miso Butter: In a medium bowl, combine miso paste, softened butter, and honey. Mix well until smooth and set aside.
  1. Season Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  1. Prepare Salsa Verde: In a separate bowl, combine scallions, fresh herbs, capers, olive oil, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Mix well and set aside.
  1. Sear Salmon: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat a splash of olive oil over medium-high heat. Carefully add the salmon fillets skin-side down. Sear for about 3-4 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden.
  1. Add Miso Butter: Flip the salmon fillets and spread the miso butter mixture generously over the top of each fillet.
  1. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  1. Sizzle Salsa Verde: While the salmon bakes, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add a little olive oil and a portion of the scallion salsa verde for a quick sauté. This adds warmth and depth to the salsa.
  1. Finish Salmon: Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven. Let it rest for a few minutes.
  1. Serve: Plate the salmon, drizzle with the warm sizzled scallion salsa verde, and garnish with additional herbs if desired.
