Equipment

Ingredients
  

Japanese-Style Risotto

  • 3 tablespoon olive oil divided
  • 10.5 ounces shiitakes torn into pieces
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 1 stalk celery diced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 cup rice like sushi rice or Arborio
  • ¼ cup dry white wine or sake
  • 5 cups hot chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon white miso paste
  • black pepper for serving
  • chives for serving
  • sesame seeds for serving

Seared Salmon

  • 5 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon dry white wine
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 4 fillets skinless salmon
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Marinate the salmon fillets by combining soy sauce, white wine, and brown sugar in a shallow dish. Coat the salmon on both sides and set aside.
  • Prepare the vegetables: tear shiitakes into pieces, dice the celery, mince the garlic, and chop the onion.

Cooking the Risotto

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pot over high heat. Add shiitakes and cook until moisture is released, then brown them. Stir in soy sauce and cook for 1 more minute. Remove and set aside.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low, add another tablespoon of oil, then the celery, onion, and garlic. Cook for 2 minutes until fragrant. Add the rice and toast for 1 minute. Deglaze with white wine, simmer for 2 minutes while scraping the pot.
  • Add chicken broth in 2 ladles at a time, stirring frequently, until absorbed. Cook until rice is nearly al dente, about 15 minutes. Stir in shiitakes, dissolve miso in hot broth, and add it. Simmer for about 5 more minutes.

Cooking the Salmon

  • In a nonstick skillet, heat oil and butter over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon for 4 minutes per side.

Serving

  • Serve the salmon over risotto, topped with black pepper, chives, and sesame seeds. Enjoy!

Notes

Adjust seasoning and broth according to taste. Use fresh ingredients for best results.
