Step-by-Step Instructions for Miso Butter Salmon

In a medium bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, white miso paste, brown sugar, freshly grated ginger, minced garlic, and thinly sliced green onions. Mix together until creamy.
Preheat oven to 375°F or air fryer to 400°F. Pat the salmon dry, place skin-side down on baking sheet, and spread the miso butter over each fillet.
For the oven method, bake for 12-15 minutes until opaque. Broil for 1-2 minutes for a caramelized top.
For the air fryer, cook for 9-10 minutes until cooked through and flaky.
Serve with extra miso butter, garnish with sliced green onions, and pair with steamed rice or veggies.
