Instructions

1. 1

   Prep (10 minutes): Pat salmon dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper. Mince/grate the garlic. In a small bowl, mix miso paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey (if using) into a smooth paste.

2. 2

   Cook (12 minutes): Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon in the pan skin-side down (if applicable) and cook 5–6 minutes until browned. Flip and cook 5–6 minutes more until just cooked through.

3. 3

   Finish sauce: Lower heat to low. Add butter to the pan and let it melt. Stir in the miso mixture and garlic, then spoon the miso-butter over the salmon for 30–60 seconds.

4. 4

   Serve with greens: While the salmon finishes, steam greens 2–3 minutes until wilted. Plate greens and top with salmon, spooning any remaining miso-butter sauce over the top.
