Ingredients

Sheet Pan Miso Butter Salmon

• 4 fillets salmon, 6 oz each, skin on
• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 tbsp salted butter, softened

• 1 tbsp honey

How to Make Sheet Pan Miso Butter Salmon

1. **Heat.** Preheat oven to 425F. Line a sheet pan with parchment.
2. **Whisk.** Whisk butter, miso, honey, soy sauce, garlic, and rice vinegar in a bowl until smooth.
3. **Roast broccoli.** Toss broccoli with olive oil and salt. Spread on sheet pan. Roast 5 minutes.
4. **Add salmon.** Push broccoli to one side. Add salmon skin down to the pan. Brush each fillet with miso butter.
5. **Bake.** Roast 12 minutes until salmon flakes and broccoli chars.
6. **Glaze.** Drizzle remaining miso butter over salmon. Broil 1 minute until glossy.
7. **Serve.** Top with scallions and sesame seeds. Serve over rice.

Why This Recipe Works

Miso plus butter is a Japanese restaurant trick that adds sweet umami fast. Whisk softened butter with white miso, soy, and honey to create a compound butter that melts into a glaze under high heat.

Roasting at 425F is the salmon sweet spot. High heat caramelizes the miso butter into a sticky lacquer in 12 minutes without overcooking the fish. Lower temps melt the butter without browning it, and 450F burns the miso.

Broccoli goes in 5 minutes before the salmon to give it a head start. The dense florets need that extra time to char while the salmon cooks. Drizzle remaining miso butter over both at the end and broil 1 minute for a glossy finish. For more ideas, see our Crockpot French Onion Chicken.

Tips

• Use white miso for mild flavor, not red or yellow which are too strong.
• Let butter soften at room temp 30 minutes before whisking in miso.
• Use thick fillets (1 to 1.5 inches) for best moist results.
• Store leftovers up to 2 days. Reheat at 350F for 6 minutes.
• Common mistake: do not skip the broil at the end, it sets the glaze.
• Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and no stuck salmon.

Variations

• Use cod or halibut instead of salmon. Same cook time.
• Add lemon slices to the pan for citrus brightness.
• Swap broccoli for asparagus or green beans.
• Add 1 tsp grated ginger to the miso butter for extra zing.
• Use chili crisp on top for spicy heat.
• Serve over rice with kimchi for full Korean inspired meal.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Cold butter into miso: Soften butter at room temp first or whisk in microwave melted butter.
• Crowding the pan: Leave space between salmon fillets and broccoli for browning.
• Roasting at 350F: 425F is the sweet spot for caramelizing without overcooking.
• Skipping the head start on broccoli: Add broccoli 5 minutes before salmon. It needs the extra time.
