Ingredients
For Miso Butter
- ¼ cup miso paste 65 grams
- 2 ½ tablespoons butter 36 grams, softened, cultured, unsalted
- 1 tablespoon cane sugar 10 grams, evaporated
For Miso Butter Salmon
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 250 grams cabbage (cut into 2-inch pieces)
- 100 grams onion (cut into thin wedges)
- 100 grams carrot cut into 1/10-inch thick slices
- 100 grams enoki mushrooms growing medium trimmed off
- ¼ cup sake
- 450 grams salmon filet
- black pepper (to taste)
- 2 scallions (chopped)
Instructions
- Whisk the miso, butter, and sugar together in a small bowl until it's uniform in color, and set aside.
- Spread the miso butter onto the top surface of the salmon in an even layer. Depending on the saltiness of your miso, you may not need all of the miso butter.
- Add the vegetable oil to a frying pan and sauté the cabbage, onion, carrots, and enoki until they're wilted.
- Flatten out the vegetables and place the salmon on top of them.
- Pour the sake around the salmon and immediately cover the pan with a lid. Turn down the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and set the timer for 8-10 minutes (the exact time depends on your salmon's thickness).
- Garnish the Miso Butter Salmon with black pepper and scallions and serve with rice.
