Salmon miso butter soup ingredients.
  • Salmon: Use salmon fillets and remove the skin and bones before cooking so the pieces are easy to eat in the soup.
  • Mushrooms: I used shimeji and enoki, but feel free to use other mushrooms, such as shiitake or button mushrooms.
  • Potatoes and onions: These make the soup hearty and filling. Broccoli and carrots are also delicious in this soup.
  • Dashi powder: A little dashi powder adds extra umami to the broth.
  • Miso paste: I recommend a mild, light-colored miso for a lighter flavor.
  • Butter: Add it just before serving for a rich flavor and lovely aroma.

Recipe Tips

  • Salt the salmon: Let it sit for a few minutes, then pat it dry before adding it to the soup. This helps remove excess moisture and any fishy smell.
  • Add the butter your way: I like adding a small piece of butter to each bowl, but you can stir it into the pot if you want buttery flavor in every bite.
  • Add the salmon near the end: Cook it just until done so it stays tender and doesn’t break apart in the soup.
