Prep/Cook Time: 30 Minutes, Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons white miso
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 pound salmon, skinned and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup sliced shallots (about 3 medium)
- 1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced
- 8 ounces frozen shelled edamame (about 1½ cups), thawed
- ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
Directions
- Whisk miso, butter and water in a small bowl.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot but not smoking. Add salmon and cook, stirring gently, until almost cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, shallots, zucchini and edamame to the pan; cook, stirring, until the vegetables are almost tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the miso sauce until well coated. Gently stir in the salmon and basil.
