Step-by-Step Instructions
01
In a small bowl, stir together the miso, soy sauce, and sake until smooth. Divide the mixture into 5 equal portions. Check the salmon fillets and remove any pin bones.
02
Rub 1 portion of the miso mixture over each salmon fillet, using 4 portions total. Wrap or cover the fillets tightly and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to half a day, to let the flavor absorb.
03
About 10 minutes before cooking, let the butter soften at room temperature. Mix the remaining 1 portion of miso sauce with the softened butter until evenly combined.
04
Rinse the bean sprouts and trim the roots if desired. Cut the carrot into thin matchsticks and separate the shimeji mushrooms into small clusters.
