Step 1
Pat the 2 salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp of the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat until foaming.
Step 2
Place the salmon in the skillet, skin-side down, and cook until the skin is crisp and golden, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook for 2 more minutes, until the fish is just opaque in the center.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 tbsp butter with the 1 tbsp miso paste until smooth. Add this mixture to the skillet and let it melt, spooning it over the salmon for 1 minute.
Step 4
Transfer the salmon to plates and spoon any remaining miso butter from the pan over the top. Slice the 2 green onions thinly and scatter over the salmon before serving.
Step 5
Serve hot, with rice or steamed vegetables if desired.
