Ingredients

Method

Heat oven to 400°F (205°C). Pat salmon dry and lightly oil a baking dish.
Stir softened butter, miso, and lemon juice until smooth.
Arrange salmon and trimmed asparagus in the dish. Brush salmon with the miso butter and lightly oil asparagus.
Roast until salmon reaches 145°F (63°C) in the thickest part, approximately 12–18 minutes depending on thickness.
Serve immediately with your preferred potatoes or rice.
