Misoyaki Glazed Salmon Food

SALMON MISOYAKI

Steps:

• Pat the salmon dry with paper towels, especially the skin side. To make attractive slices of salmon, tilt the knife to about a 45-degree angle to the cutting board while making the cut. This increases the surface area and makes prettier portions. Cut into 4 portions. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
• To prepare the glaze, measure the sake and mirin into a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Boil the mixture to evaporate the alcohol and reduce the volume until about 1/4 cup remains, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low and stir in the sugar and miso. Cook until it turns a pale caramel color, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the grated ginger and keep the glaze warm while the salmon is grilled.
• Preheat an indoor grill pan to medium high. (Alternatively, cook outdoors over a moderate charcoal fire.) Spray the salmon fillets on both sides with cooking spray. Grill for about 4 minutes on each side or until each piece has turned opaque with appetizing brown bits. (Or cook to your preferred doneness.)
• Remove the salmon from the grill to a platter and brush with the warm glaze. Garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

MISOYAKI SALMON

Steps:

• Mix the miso, sake, mirin, soy and sugar in a bowl.
• Place the salmon, and miso sauce in a ziplock bag and marinate in the fridge for a couple of hours or overnight.
• Bake the salmon in a preheated 450F/230C oven for a few minutes (the exact time will depend on how thick the salmon is).
• Broil the salmon until golden brown on top, about 1-3 minutes.

MISOYAKI-GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• To prepare the glaze, place the sake, soy sauce, miso paste and sugar in the top of a double boiler and cook for about 20 minutes, stirring often until the sugar is well dissolved and the mixture is fragrant.
• Set aside to cool.
• Place the salmon fillets in a glass baking dish and generously coat each fillet with the cooled miso glaze.
• Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
• Remove the salmon fillets from the miso glaze, quickly rinse under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
• Pour the canola oil and sesame oil into a large saute pan or skillet and set over medium high heat.
• Carefully add the salmon fillets to the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until the first side has browned nicely.
• turn the salmon over, turn down the heat to medium and cook for 3 to 4 minutes longer, or until the salmon flakes easily when pierced with a fork.
• Remove the fillets from the pan, pat with paper towels to remove any excess oil, and transfer to a warm serving plate.
• Using the same paper towls, gently pat the saute pan to remove the excessoil and any burnt bits, but leaving the residual drippings.
• Return the pan to the heat, add 1/4 to 1/2 cup water and deglaze the pan to create a pan juice.
• Top the salmon fillets with the pan juice.
• Garnish with the sliced scallions.

MISO-GINGER MARINATED GRILLED SALMON

Steps:

• Whisk together the miso, mirin, vinegar, soy sauce, green onions, ginger, and sesame oil in a small bowl. Place the salmon in a baking dish, pour the marinade over, and turn to coat. Cover and marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
• Heat grill to high. Remove the fish from the marinade and season with salt and pepper. Grill the salmon, skin side down, with the cover closed, until golden brown and a crust has formed, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the salmon over and continue grilling for 3 to 4 minutes for medium doneness. Drizzle with a little yuzu juice, if desired, and serve.

TERIYAKI GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Season the salmon with the lemon pepper seasoning (honestly-I do not measure-I just shake on the seasoning)Cut salmon into serving portions.
• Hint:Remove skin if you prefer(which I do) but skin can be left on-just season both sides and cook top side down first(display side).
• Place salmon in heated pan (I use medium -high heat to start,then go down to medium)-with a small amount of olive oil.
• If leaving the skin on-place fish in the pan skin side up.
• Cook until flesh becomes flaky,forming a crust from the olive oil and seasoning.
• Flip and cook few minutes more until desired doness.
• Pour prepared teriyaki sauce over filets in the last few minutes to warm.
• Serve with your favorite seasoned rice and a nice salad.
• Cheaters method:.
• I just purchase Gordon's frozen Lemon Butter salmon filets-heat according to direction (i do cheat and use the microwave method as stated on the box).
• Pour on some teriyaki sauce-warm and serve.

MISOYAKI

Steps:

• Whisk miso, 1 cup sugar, sake, and mirin together in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until marinade has reduced, about 45 minutes. Transfer marinade to a shallow dish and cool completely, 30 minutes to 1 hour. Place butterfish in the marinade and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
• Combine shallot, bay leaf, peppercorns, vinegar, and wine in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until only about 1 tablespoon liquid remain, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour cream into mixture and simmer until cream mixture has reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high and rapidly whisk butter pieces, 1 at a time, until beurre blanc is smooth and thickened. Strain beurre blanc through a mesh strainer to remove spices.
• Stir lemon juice into beurre blanc until lemon sauce is evenly mixed; fold in parsley.
• Combine soy sauce and 1 cup sugar in a saucepan over low heat; cook and stir until sugar is dissolved and sweet soy sauce has reduced to 1 cup, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Heat a skillet over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove butterfish from marinade, discarding unused marinade. Cook butterfish in the hot skillet until fish flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer butterfish to a warmed plate and drizzle lemon sauce and sweet soy sauce around fish.

MISO-MARINATED SALMON

Steps:

• Stir together the miso, mirin, sugar and sake, if using. Place the salmon fillets on a plate or in a medium food bag and cover with the miso marinade. Leave in the fridge for at least 30 mins or, better still, overnight.
• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Lightly oil a baking tray. Use kitchen paper to wipe off the marinade (don't be tempted to wash it off as you will lose some of the flavour). Place the fillets on the baking tray, skin side down. Cook in the oven for 15 mins until the fish flakes easily and is cooked through.
• Meanwhile, make the cucumber salad. Using a vegetable peeler, shave the cucumber into long, thin ribbons. Whisk together the rice wine vinegar, oil and sugar. Toss the cucumber ribbons in the dressing, then curl them up on two plates. Serve with the salmon and some plain white rice sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds.

MISO-GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Whisk together the sake, miso paste, mirin, soy sauce, and brown sugar in a baking dish. Add the salmon, and allow to rest for 5 minutes before flipping the fillets over in the marinade to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Bring salmon to room temperature, about 15 minutes, then remove salmon from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange salmon in the skillet, and cook until the fish flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes on each side. Transfer the fish to a plate and garnish with basil.

MISO-GLAZED FISH

Steps:

• Combine the mirin and sake in the smallest saucepan you have and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil 20 seconds, taking care not to boil off much of the liquid, then turn the heat to low and stir in the miso and the sugar. Whisk over medium heat without letting the mixture boil until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and whisk in the sesame oil. Allow to cool. Transfer to a wide glass or stainless steel bowl or baking dish.
• Pat the fish fillets dry and brush or rub on both sides with the marinade, then place them in the baking dish and turn them over a few times in the marinade remaining in the dish. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate for 2 to 3 hours, or for up to a day.
• Light the broiler or prepare a grill. Line a sheet pan with foil and oil the foil. Tap each fillet against the sides of the bowl or dish so excess marinade will slide off. Place skin side up on the baking sheet if broiling.
• Place the fish skin side down on the grill, or skin side up under the broiler, about 6 inches from the heat. Broil or grill for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until the surface browns and blackens in spots. If necessary (this will depend on the thickness of the fillets) finish in a 400-degree oven, for about 5 minutes, until the fish is opaque and can be pulled apart easily with a fork.
