For the Glaze

- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar Provides slight sweetness.
- 2 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated Adds a refreshing kick.

Instructions
Preparation
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the softened butter, white miso paste, brown sugar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sliced green onions until well combined and creamy.
Cooking
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) or the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the salmon fillets on a large baking sheet or in the air fryer basket. Spread an even amount of the miso butter mixture on top of each fillet.
- For oven preparation, bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes until it becomes opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Broil on high for 1-2 minutes for a caramelized top. For air fryer cooking, line the basket with parchment or foil and cook for 9-10 minutes.
- Remove the salmon from the heat and drizzle any remaining miso butter over the top. Garnish with additional sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
Consider marinating the salmon in the miso mixture for 30 minutes to a few hours for deeper flavor. Serve with fluffy jasmine rice or a cucumber salad for contrast.
