Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets about 150g each
  • Salt & black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup uncooked rice short-grain or jasmine
  • 1½ cups stock of your choice chicken, vegetable, or dashi
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms i used a mixture of shiitake and shemiji
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1.5 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbs butter melted - i prefer salted, but taste to adjust
  • 1.5 tsp miso paste
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp chopped chives
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill chopped

Instructions

  • Pan-fry the salmon: Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper. In a pot over medium heat, pan-fry for 3 minutes per side until lightly golden. Remove and set aside.
  • Sauté aromatics: In the same pot, add mushrooms and garlic. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden.
  • Add rice & seasoning: Add the rice directly into the pot and season with soy sauce and black pepper. Mix well to coat each grain in the flavorful oil.
  • Cook the rice: Pour in the stock and gently place the salmon back on top. Cover and cook over low heat for 15 minutes, until the rice is fluffy and liquid is absorbed.
  • Make miso butter: While the rice cooks, warm up the lemon juice, then add in cold butter, mix well until butter is fully melted, then mix in miso paste, chives, and fresh dill until smooth. Taste to season with more salt if needed.
  • Finish & serve: Once the rice is done, drizzle the miso butter over the salmon and rice. Gently mix everything together.
