- 2 tablespoon white miso Shiro Miso
- 1 tablespoon of mirin
- 1 tablespoon of sake or dry white wine
- 1 teaspoon of honey
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 A tablespoon of neutral oil for sautéing
- Fleur de sel
FOR THE SESAME DRESSING:
- 2 tablespoon of tahini or roasted sesame paste
- 2 tablespoon of soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar
- 1 Teaspoon sesame oil roasted
- 1 teaspoon of honey
- 1 teaspoon of fresh ginger grated
- 2 –3 tablespoons of water for thinning
FOR THE SIDE DISHES:
- 150 g Edamame Frozen, thawed, and peeled
- 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds
- 2 spring onions cut into thin rings
- 1 teaspoon of black sesame seeds for garnish
- Fresh cilantro or shiso leaves
- 1 lime cut into strips
FOR THE RICE:
- 200 g Sushi rice or jasmine rice
- 400 ml Wasser
- 1 teaspoon of rice vinegar
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- ½ tablespoons of sugar
PREPARATION:
For the miso glaze, whisk together the miso, mirin, sake, honey, and soy sauce until smooth.
Pat the salmon fillets dry and brush them all over with the glaze.
Let it marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
To make the sesame dressing, mix together the tahini, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, and ginger, then thin with water until it reaches a creamy, pourable consistency.
Rinse the rice, bring it to a boil in water, reduce the heat to low, and let it soak for 12 minutes.
Stir in the rice vinegar, salt, and sugar.
COOKING STEPS:
Heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat until it begins to smoke slightly.
Add the oil and sear the salmon fillets over high heat for just 45–60 seconds on each side—until golden brown on the outside but still tender and rare on the inside.
Remove from the pan immediately and let rest briefly.
Blanch the edamame in lightly salted water for 2 minutes, then drain.
Cut the salmon across the grain into slices about 1 cm thick.
SERVE:
Shape the rice into a compact mound on the plate, or arrange it loosely.
Arrange the salmon slices in a fan shape on top or next to it.
Arrange the edamame around the salmon.
Drizzle the sesame dressing generously over the salmon and edamame.
Sprinkle with toasted and black sesame seeds, sliced green onions, and fresh cilantro.
Add lime wedges and fleur de sel.
Serve immediately.
