Ingredients

• 250 grams spaghetti
• 2 pieces salmon fillet, skinless
• 2 tablespoons white miso paste
• 1.5 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1.5 teaspoons sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 120 milliliters heavy cream
• 30 grams parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 pieces scallions, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0 to taste salt
• 0 to taste black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water before draining the spaghetti. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, soy sauce, honey, and 1 teaspoon sesame oil to create the miso glaze.

Step 3

Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and lightly season them with a pinch of salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Brush the miso glaze onto the salmon during the last minute of cooking, ensuring it becomes caramelized. Remove the salmon from the pan and set aside.

Step 5

In the same pan, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour in the heavy cream and stir well, then add the reserved miso glaze (if there is any left). Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.

Step 7

Stir in the grated parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil. Combine until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper.

Step 8

Toss the cooked spaghetti into the sauce, ensuring it is well coated. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen it.

Step 9

Plate the miso salmon on top of the spaghetti and garnish with thinly sliced scallions.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful Miso Salmon Spaghetti!
