In a medium bowl, combine 6 tablespoons of softened unsalted butter, 3 tablespoons of white miso paste, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of grated fresh ginger, and 1-2 cloves of minced garlic. Mash until well blended and creamy.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes. Preheat your oven to 375°F or air fryer to 400°F.
Evenly divide the prepared miso butter over each salmon fillet, ensuring they are generously coated.
Place the salmon fillets in a lightly greased baking dish, bake for 12-15 minutes until opaque and flakes easily. Optionally broil for the last 1-2 minutes for a caramelized surface.
For air fryer, line the basket with parchment. Cook at 400°F for 9-10 minutes without flipping.
Transfer the salmon to a platter, drizzle with any remaining miso butter, and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve with steamed rice and vegetables.
