Ingredients

  • 2 brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons mixed miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon white rice vinegar
  • 2 (4-oz) salmon fillets, deboned, skinned (preferably fresh)
  • 1 cup fresh snow peas
  • ½ cup dry sake
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 1 stick butter, softened
  • Heavy cream
  • Ginger paste
  • Garlic paste
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • Chopped chives for garnish
  • Olive oil, as needed

Instructions

Mixing of Pastes and Sauces:

  • In a large bowl, combine miso paste, rice vinegar, brown sugar, and soy sauce. Mix well to create a marinade and glaze creamy mixture. Add a splash of warm water if the consistency is too thick.

2. Refrigerating Salmon Fillets:

  • Marinate the salmon fillets with the prepared paste and sauces. Wrap the salmon fillets in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 40 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.

3. Blanching Snow Peas:

  • Blanch snow peas in a pot of boiling salty water for about 10 minutes. Transfer them to an ice bath, then dry thoroughly. Roast the blanched snow peas for 3 minutes in 1 tablespoon of olive oil over low heat. Set aside to cool.

4. Grilling the Salmon:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Drizzle olive oil on a baking plate lined with aluminum foil. Place the marinated salmon fillets on the plate. Bake for 15 to 16 minutes until the salmon is flaky and browned.

5. Sake Butter Sauce: 

  • In a saucepan, melt one tablespoon of butter. Add ginger and garlic paste, cook for five minutes. Pour in sake and bring it to a boil. Let it boil for approximately five minutes. Remove from heat. Add heavy cream and bring the mixture back to a boil. Let it reduce by two-thirds, creating a thick, pliable paste.

6. Cooking Rice:

  • Prepare garlic rice or your preferred rice dish according to your preference.

7. Serving:

  • Plate by placing rice on each plate. Put the miso salmon on top of the rice and smear the sake butter sauce over the salmon. Add the prepared snow peas on the side. Garnish with chopped chives and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use a mixture of red and lighter miso paste.
  • Opt for fresh, soft-textured salmon fillets for a juicy and tender result.
