This tender juicy salmon is perfectly pan fried then finished with a miso garlic butter. Only four ingredients are needed to make this delicious salmon recipe.
I love making salmon for a quick weeknight dinner but I don’t always like making it the same way with the same flavor profile. That’s why this salmon recipe is the perfect addition to add into the rotation. The rich and creamy butter pairs great with the salty umami flavors of the miso paste.
