Looking for a super quick, incredibly delicious fish dish that’s also a looker? I have it right here for ya, baby. Seared salmon with miso-brown butter that only has 8 ingredients (5 if you get right down to business and skip the garnishes) and takes only 20 minutes to prepare.
I have to say, this has been one of my proudest accomplishments in the kitchen to date. When I put this perfect, beautiful golden-brown seared salmon on the plate, I could hardly believe I had just made that! In my family, we always roast salmon. Why? Because that’s what we have always done.
Don’t get me wrong, roasted salmon is still delicious. But there is another way…a way I’d only seen in restaurants. Seared salmon, with it’s crusty golden exterior and perfectly cooked interior…NOW IT IS MY WAY.
And now let’s give this miso-brown butter topping it’s due. It is literally two ingredients…miso and brown butter. Miso gives it that unctuous, umami bomb and the brown butter gives it that nutty richness. Combined? Heaven. It is the perfect pairing with salmon.
Salmon is generally my fish of choice because, well, I live in the middle of the country and salmon is overflowing out of our grocery stores around here. It’s the one fish I can consistently get and not pay a month’s salary for it.
Don’t like salmon? Live on the coast or near a great fish shop? Try another kind of fish and let me know!
