Salmon In Miso Broth Food

EASY MISO SALMON

Steps:

• Let salmon rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the miso glaze: Whisk the miso, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, Sriracha and kosher salt together in a small bowl until smooth (the miso may have a few lumps depending on its texture, which is okay).
• Preheat the broiler to high. Place a large sheet of aluminum foil on a baking sheet and brush it with olive oil. Pat each piece of salmon dry and place it on the foil skin side down. Brush salmon liberally with the glaze (1 to 2 tablespoons).
• Broil about 4 to 5 minutes for very thin salmon or 7 to 10 minutes for 1-inch thick salmon, until just tender and pink at the center (the internal temperature should be between 125 to 130F in the center). Brush with more of the glaze and serve.

SALMON MISO SOUP

Steps:

• Get your salmon stock or dashi warm in a pot. Cook your soba noodles according to the instructions on the package. Drain and set some in each person's bowl.
• Add some salmon to each bowl, along with some green onions.
• Mix the miso with the stock -- you can double the amount of miso if you'd like -- and pour into each person's bowl. Serve at once.

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.

SLOW-COOKED SALMON IN MISO-YUZU BROTH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300°F. Butter a large rimmed baking sheet.
• Put the konbu on a small baking sheet and bake until dry and brittle, about 8 minutes. It should smell smoky.
• Combine the konbu, chicken stock, and 1 cup water in a large saucepan. Cut the chile in half and add half to the pan. Bring to a simmer, then drop in the bonito. Crush the dill with your hands and stir into the mixture. Remove from the heat, cover, and let steep for 15 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible; discard the solids.
• Mince the remaining chile half and set aside.
• In a small bowl, stir together the miso and 1 cup of the broth until smooth. Return to the saucepan, along with the yuzu juice and remaining broth, and heat just until bubbles form. Do not let the mixture boil.
• Meanwhile, season the salmon with salt and pepper and place on the prepared baking sheet, skin side up. Bake until the salmon skin peels off easily and a thin-bladed knife slides through the side of the fish against the grain with no resistance, about 12 minutes. Remove the skin from each fillet, carefully flip, and transfer to shallow bowls.
• Divide the tofu, ginger, scallion, and tomatoes among the bowls, scattering them around the fish. Spoon the broth over each serving, garnish with basil and minced chile, and serve.

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.
