Savory, delicious and super flavorful. Soy glazed salmon piled over miso-flavored risotto packed with shiitake mushrooms. Made with simple ingredients and ready in about 40 minutes. A perfect dish to transform your dinner into a next-level flavor bomb!
We start by marinating the salmon fillets. In a shallow dish, combine soy sauce, white wine and brown sugar. Add salmon fillets, coat both sides. Set aside to marinate.
In the meantime, tear the shiitakes into small pieces, finely dice the celery stalk, mince the garlic and finely chop the onion.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil over high in a heavy bottomed pot or skillet. Add shiitakes and cook until they release their moisture. Add 1 tablespoon oil and cook until they start to brown. Stir in soy sauce and cook for 1 minute more. Remove from skillet.
Reduce heat to medium low and add 1 tablespoon oil. Then add the celery, onion and garlic. Cook for 2 minutes until fragrant. Add rice and toast for 1 minute. Deglaze with white wine, simmer for 2 minutes while scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the skillet using a wooden spoon.
Add 2 ladles chicken broth at a time, stirring frequently, until the broth has been almost completely absorbed before adding the next 2 ladles. Cook until the rice is almost al dente, about 15 minutes. It's possible that you don't need to use up all of the broth. Stir in shiitakes. Dissolve miso with 2 tablespoons hot broth and add to risotto. Simmer about 5 minutes until the risotto is ready, add more broth if needed.
In the meantime, prepare the salmon. Heat oil and butter over medium high in a nonstick skillet. Add salmon and sear 4 minutes per side.
Serve salmon over risotto, top with black pepper, chives and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
