Sheet Pan Miso Chicken With Radishes And Lime Food

SHEET-PAN MISO CHICKEN WITH RADISHES AND LIME

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Place one rack in the middle of the oven and another about 6 inches from the broiler.
• On a large baking sheet, drizzle the chicken all over with 1 tablespoon oil, then season all over with salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, mash together the ghee and miso until combined. Lift up the skin on one chicken thigh, carefully creating a space between the skin and meat, and place about 1/2 teaspoon miso-ghee mixture inside. Close the pocket, then lightly press on top of the skin to spread it around. Repeat with remaining chicken thighs, adding 1/2 teaspoon miso-ghee mixture to each. Massage another 1 1/2 teaspoons mixture all over the chicken, leaving about 1 teaspoon miso-ghee mixture remaining in the bowl.
• Arrange the chicken skin-side up, evenly spaced apart, and roast on the middle rack for 15 minutes.
• In the same mixing bowl, toss the radishes with the remaining miso-ghee mixture and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• After the chicken has roasted for 15 minutes, scatter the radishes around the chicken and cook until radishes are tender and lightly browned and chicken is cooked through (the temperature in the thickest part of the thigh should reach 165 degrees), another 10 to 15 minutes.
• If the chicken skin is not as browned as you'd like, broil on the rack near the broiler until the skin is crispy and golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Squeeze the lime juice over chicken and radishes, then garnish with the scallions and sesame seeds, if using. Divide among plates and serve.

KIYOKO'S MISO SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine mirin, miso paste, egg yolk, and sake in a saucepan and mix well; bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring constantly, until sauce is the consistency of jam, 10 to 15 minutes.

SHEET-PAN MISO-GLAZED SALMON AND RADISHES

Steps:

• For the salmon: Preheat the broiler on high. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and brush it lightly with oil.
• Whisk the sake, miso, sugar and sesame oil in a large, microwave-safe bowl; microwave until just simmering, about 40 seconds. Alternatively, whisk the mixture in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until just simmering, stirring occasionally to combine and to dissolve the sugar and miso. Cool to warm room temperature, whisking occasionally.
• Toss the radishes with the remaining 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil, a tablespoon of the miso sauce and a pinch of salt. Arrange around the edges of the prepared baking sheet.
• Coat the salmon in the miso sauce then arrange the fillets in the center of the baking sheet and pour the remaining miso sauce over top. Broil 4 to 6 inches from the element, rotating the pan occasionally, until the radishes are crisp tender and browned and the fish is just cooked through and golden brown in spots, about 6 minutes.
• To make the salad dressing, whisk the miso and rice vinegar in a large bowl to break up the miso. Next add the lime juice, coconut aminos, sesame oil and sesame seeds. While whisking, drizzle in the vegetable oil. Add the sliced cucumbers and spring mix and toss to coat.
• To serve, plate some of the salad and top with broiled salmon and radishes. Garnish with the scallions and serve!
