Step-by-Step Instructions for Miso Butter Salmon
  1. In a medium bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, white miso paste, brown sugar, grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, and thinly sliced green onions. Use a fork to mash and blend these ingredients until smooth.
  2. Place the salmon fillets on a lined baking sheet and evenly divide the miso butter across each fillet.
  3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until opaque. Broil for an additional 1-2 minutes as desired.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Cook the salmon fillets in the air fryer for 9-10 minutes without flipping.
  5. Once cooked, transfer to a serving platter and drizzle remaining melted miso butter over the fillets. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
