Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz / 170 g each), skin-on or skinless
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons white or yellow miso paste
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 minced garlic clove
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 12 oz (340 g) fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine softened butter, miso paste, soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, and garlic powder. Mix until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
  2. Trim green beans and steam for 3-4 minutes until bright green and just tender. Drain and set aside. Alternatively, blanch in boiling water for 2-3 minutes and shock in ice water.
  3. Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Pat salmon dry. Place salmon fillets skin-side down in hot skillet. Cook 4-5 minutes without moving until skin is crisp and fish is cooked halfway up the sides.
  4. Flip salmon and cook another 2-3 minutes depending on thickness.
  5. Reduce heat to low. Spoon miso butter glaze over each salmon fillet. Let it melt and bubble, spooning occasionally to coat fully, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. In a separate pan, heat toasted sesame oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  7. Add steamed green beans, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Stir to coat and warm through for 2 minutes.
  8. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Plate salmon alongside sesame green beans. Spoon any extra glaze over salmon. Garnish with chopped scallions or extra sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

For best texture, use fresh green beans that snap easily. If dairy-free, substitute butter with vegan margarine or coconut oil. Avoid over-glazing salmon to prevent burning the butter. Steaming green beans locks in color and crunch; blanching is an alternative. Toast sesame seeds fresh for more flavor. Let salmon rest 5-10 minutes after cooking to intensify flavors.
