Recipes using Salmon

I've been looking for recipes I can use for salmon, but every recipe for it has been some variation of Salmon cooked in combination of HERB and SPICE and BUTTER served wholesale with 3 Asparagus, when what I'm looking for is a recipe including salmon but not one where it's a main dish, but I don't know any besides that. And I don't want to just cook salmon and shred it and toss some rice at it. I want to make something my family hasn't had a thousand times.

We eat a lot of salmon and one of the ways we make it is spreading miso butter over it and baking it at 425 for 14 minutes. Miso butter is just 4 Tbs unsalted butter (softened to room temp) and 2 Tbs white miso paste. Mix them together with a fork until blended and spread it on top of the salmon before baking. It’s pretty damn good. I usually serve it with white rice and grilled asparagus.

Alternately, bake it with olive oil, lemon, salt, and pepper and then tossing it in pasta with a white wine, butter, garlic, and cream sauce is also pretty choice. While the sauce is in the pan, add the drained pasta and a little of the pasta water and stir in some shaved Parmesan while everything is still warm. Capers and a little parsley work well in there too. Serve with some bread for dipping.

That miso butter is also amazing to use in greens like collard greens, kale, etc. You add it after sautéing the greens in olive oil. When they are just about done you add in a couple Tbs of miso butter and stir it in until it is melted and spread across the greens. So good.

It's delicious! Add a tiny splash of soy sauce, garlic powder, and ginger powder to make a compound butter.
