Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb salmon fillets, skin-on
  • 2 tbsp white miso paste
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup small-curd cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and diced (optional)
  • Tortilla chips, pita chips, or crisp veggie sticks, for serving
  • Fresh lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the miso glaze by whisking together white miso paste, honey, soy sauce, fresh lime juice, and minced garlic in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season lightly with freshly ground black pepper. Brush the miso glaze evenly over the salmon, reserving some for basting. Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine cottage cheese and sour cream. Whisk until mostly smooth but still slightly textured.
  4. Stir in ranch seasoning mix, chili powder, ground cumin, and a pinch of salt. Fold in chopped cilantro and green onions.
  5. Spread the ranch taco dip base evenly into a large serving bowl. Sprinkle black beans, halved cherry tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced jalapeño (if using) over the top.
  6. Heat a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes without moving to crisp the skin.
  7. Flip salmon carefully, baste with reserved miso glaze, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until salmon flakes easily but remains moist inside. Remove from heat and let rest for 2 minutes.
  8. Flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces and scatter over the party bowl. Garnish with extra cilantro sprigs and fresh lime wedges.
  9. Serve immediately with tortilla chips or crisp veggie sticks.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before cooking for crispy skin. Use medium-high heat to avoid burning glaze. Rest salmon after cooking to keep it juicy. For gluten-free, verify ranch seasoning. For dairy-free, substitute sour cream and cottage cheese with coconut yogurt or cashew cream. Optional smoked paprika adds smoky flavor. Leftovers store separately for up to 2 days; reheat salmon gently.
