Miso Garlic Butter Salmon

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
Miso Garlic Butter Salmon easy

We’re already halfway through the Alphabet Weekly Dish Challenge on Instagram! For this week’s letter M, we have Miso Garlic Butter Salmon. It’s quite a simple recipe that will leave you wanting for more!

Lately, I’ve been really into cooking with using miso as one of the ingredients. It adds that umami flavor which is unbelievably delicious, and I can’t get enough of it! Even more so when you pair it up with butter and it becomes a combination that is *elite*. (Though really, is butter ever a bad idea?)

There are quite a few Japanese dishes that incorporate the use of this combo. But one of the best ways that I enjoy it is through this Miso Garlic Butter Salmon.

The crispy salmon is packed with creamy, garlicky and umami flavor that will make you keep thinking about it long after you’ve devoured the dish.

Notes

Gently pat the salmon dry with a paper towel before seasoning and pan frying it. This will prevent the fish from sticking to the pan, ensuring you to obtain that amazing crispy skin texture.

Miso Garlic Butter Salmon

This is THE salmon recipe that you need to make. The miso garlic butter makes this salmon so delicious and perfect with white rice. It's so simple you won't believe it. Add some greens for a balanced meal! This butter is also great on other protein.

Course: Main Course
Keyword: delicious, easy, pan fry, salmon, seafood, simple
Servings: 2

Ingredients

Marinate

  • 1 lb salmon fillet
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp sugar

Miso Butter

  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp red miso paste
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 6 cloves garlic sliced
  • minced parsley for garnishing

Instructions

  • Mix sugar and rice vinegar in a container until sugar dissolves.
  • Marinate salmon in the mixture for at least 30 minutes, skin side up.
  • The butter should be soft after leaving it out at room temperature or if it's not, microwave for 10 seconds. Then in a bowl, mix the butter, miso paste, sugar and pepper until well combined.
  • Add 2 tbsp of oil and add the garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds.
    Optional step: Add 1 tbsp of the garlic butter in a pan over medium heat. Add garlic once the butter melts.
  • Push the garlic aside and add the salmon, skin side down. Let that cook for at least 6 minutes.
  • In the meantime, add miso butter layer on top of the salmon and continue cooking the garlic around the remaining space of the pan. Push to the side of the pan or remove from the pan to prevent burning.
  • Flip the salmon and let it continue cooking for another 4-6 minutes or until flesh is flaky (depending on how thick your fillet is).
  • Serve with white rice and some greens. Add more garlic butter on top for extra flavor while its hot. Garnish with the sautéed garlic and parsley.

Notes

*I used brown sugar but any sugar will do.
*Apple cider vinegar can also be used instead of rice vinegar.

      Sorry to hear that! It could have been the strong fermented taste since I used red miso. Definitely try white or yellow miso since both have milder fermented taste and is sweeter. Thanks for trying anyway 🙂

Dry Chili Pan Mee and Malaysian Style Honey Chicke Dry Chili Pan Mee and Malaysian Style Honey Chicken Wings (recipe coming soon) for lunch yesterday. I used my favorite oyster sauce that I have loved and used for years from @leekumkeeusa for both dishes.
Oyster sauce is one of my kitchen staples and it gives the perfect umami flavor to any dish. I use it a lot for marinating, stir frying and as a sauce ingredient. Ever since I started cooking, I've always used the oyster sauce from @leekumkeeusa . My family uses this too! So I'm so excited to be collaborating with them on this ☺ They sent over a few bottles together with super cute Lee Kum Kee goodies!
You can find the full recipe for the Dry Chili Pan Mee if you search it on my website. Link in bio.

My love language is quality time. Like everyone My love language is quality time. 
Like everyone else, we weren’t able to see people as much because of the pandemic. So now I cherish the times I spend with the people I love even more. Food has always been an integral part of that as well. Whenever we go out to meet people, we’re always meeting for breakfast, lunch or dinner. When we invite people over, I’m always cooking up a feast for them because I genuinely enjoy making food for others. I like to believe food is also my love language (although that’s not technically right, let me believe what I want to believe ok 😌).
As a foodie, I enjoy food a lot and LOVE trying new types of food. But I also love how food brings people together. The holiday season is always the best time in my opinion because of this. So I’m extremely excited for the next few weeks ☺️
Whatever your holidays may look like or what your love language is, I hope you’re able to take some time to slow down and appreciate the people around you. Don’t forget to take some time for self care as well and enjoy all the amazing food of course!

Salmon mentai 🍣 This is a must order for me w Salmon mentai 🍣 
This is a must order for me when we go to Japanese restaurants back in Malaysia. It’s basically flame seared salmon with a creamy spicy mayo pollack roe sauce. It’s the best 🤤 Since they don’t serve this at Japanese restaurants here, I started making it myself at home. Either as a nigiri or rice bowl. 
@culinaryjochef was kind enough to send me their Superior RX refillable blowtorch so I can make this and many other recipes 😍 I’ll be honest, I was scared at first 😆 my husband is usually the one doing these things for me. But the instructions were clear and detailed and it was so easy to use, I felt comfortable using it almost immediately. Swipe to see it in action and some salmon mentai goodness 🤤 
It also comes as a bundle with a butane fuel so I don’t have to go out and look for one that fits. It comes with a free recipe ebook of so many foods you can make with their blowtorch. I highly recommend this, check them out.

Fried rice is one of the best meals in my opinion Fried rice is one of the best meals in my opinion because for such an easy dish, it’s so satisfying. I like my fried rice spicy so one of my fav recipes is this Chili Oil Spam Fried Rice. It’s easy, spicy and delicious. 
For this particular one, I decided to swap out my chili oil for 1 tsp of @pepperexchange’s Red Habanero pepper puree and omg, it’s so good. Definitely hot but just the way I like it 😉

Miso Garlic Butter Salmon 😍 I’ve been making Miso Garlic Butter Salmon 😍
I’ve been making this a lot lately and we always have leftovers because I tend to cook like I’m feeding an army when it’s really just two and sometimes three people in this house 😂 not complaining though because although this salmon is so good with just white rice, it’s great for other things too. Like salad or for wraps! There’s a viral salmon rice food trend lately and this is so good for that too. However you eat it, this salmon recipe is definitely a must try 😍

Korean Fire Chicken with Cheese or Cheese Buldak 🥵 Swipe for some cheese pull action.
This hot and subtly sweet sauce chicken is so addictive! Add the cheese and it’s *chef’s kiss*
I had this a few weeks ago at a Korean restaurant and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. It was served with white rice and it was so SO good. Mike and I got this to share but I’m pretty sure I ate like more than half 😂
Tried recreating it at home and after a few tries, I think I made the perfect buldak sauce but I could be biased 🤪 I like it really hot but you can adjust the heat level based on your preference. Try it for yourself and let me know what you think.

Chinese style Lemon Chicken 🍋 This is a favor Chinese style Lemon Chicken 🍋 
This is a favorite of mine when we go to Chinese restaurants and it’s so easy to make at home! Although not as popular in the western food world as its sister dish the orange chicken, I think it’s just as good if not (dare I say it) better! It’s the perfect balance of sweet and tangy with every bite of the crispy chicken.
I like eating this with rice but it’s so good on its own too. Make this for your next meal 😋

Hawaiian Garlic Shrimp 🍤 This popular local H Hawaiian Garlic Shrimp 🍤 
This popular local Hawaiian dish is definitely my kind of meal. It’s garlicky and flavorful— and made with just a few simple ingredients that you probably already have at home! 
Usually cooked and eaten with the shell on and since it’s shallow fried, it makes the shell crispy. I personally love eating it this way but if you can always peel it off. 
Here’s what you’ll need:
Shrimp
Corn starch
Paprika 
Cayenne
Salt
Garlic
Butter
Lemon
