Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
  
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  
• 3 tablespoons white miso paste
  
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  
• 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, grated
  
• 1–2 cloves garlic, minced
  
• 2 tablespoons green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, add the softened butter, miso paste, brown sugar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sliced green onions. Mash and mix with a spatula until fully combined.
2. Spoon the miso butter evenly over the tops of the salmon fillets. Using a butter knife or offset spatula, spread the mixture to coat the surface of each fillet.

Oven Method:
3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the salmon fillets in a large skillet or baking dish. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the salmon turns opaque and is nearly cooked through. Switch the oven to broil and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes, just until the top begins to caramelize.

Air Fryer Method:
3. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (205°C). Line the basket with parchment paper or foil. Place the salmon fillets inside and cook for 9–10 minutes without flipping.

 4.Transfer the cooked salmon to a serving platter. Spoon any remaining melted butter over the fillets. Finish with green onions, sesame seeds if desired, and serve alongside steamed rice and vegetables.
