Best 2 Alaskan Cod Misoyaki Fish Burger Recipes

FISH BURGERS

Steps:

• Make the tartar sauce: Combine the mayonnaise, pickles and brine, dill, capers, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and garlic powder in a food processor and pulse until almost smooth, 8 to 10 pulses. Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate while you prepare the fish.
• Make the fish: Clean out the food processor and dry. Add the crackers and pulse until very fine. Transfer to a large shallow dish and add 1 teaspoon pepper. Put the flour and beaten eggs in separate shallow dishes; season the flour with 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
• Pat the fish fillets very dry using paper towels. One at a time, dredge each fillet in the flour, coating both sides; dip in the eggs, allowing the excess to drip off, then coat completely in the crackers. Transfer to a plate and let sit 5 to 10 minutes for the coating to set.
• Meanwhile, fill a large deep skillet with 1 1/2 inches of vegetable oil and heat over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350˚ F. Add 2 fillets to the hot oil and cook until the crust is golden brown and the fish is cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a large paper towel-lined plate and cook the remaining 2 fillets. Serve the fried fish on the buns with some of the tartar sauce. Serve with chips and the remaining tartar sauce.

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.
