Time 10h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 ¼ cups white miso
1 cup white sugar
½ cup sake
½ cup mirin (Japanese sweet wine)
4 (6 ounce) fillets butterfish (black cod)
2 ½ teaspoons chopped shallot
1 bay leaf
4 whole black peppercorns
7 teaspoons white wine vinegar
3 ½ teaspoons dry white wine
7 teaspoons heavy whipping cream
1 cup butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
lemon, juiced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley, or to taste
1 cup soy sauce
1 cup white sugar

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.

SALMON MISOYAKI



Salmon Misoyaki image

"Miso yaki" translates to "miso grilled." It is the perfect application for salmon's rich texture and savory flavor. The miso adds a deep umami. Paired with sugar, mirin and sake, it creates the perfect glaze. You can apply this glaze to any rich, flaky fish like swordfish or cod.

Provided by Jet Tila

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds salmon fillet
Kosher or sea salt and white or black pepper
1/2 cup sake
1/4 cup mirin
1/4 cup granulated sugar, or to taste
1/2 cup white or yellow miso
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
Nonstick cooking spray
Sliced scallions, for serving
Sesame seeds, for serving

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.
