Description

A delicious and healthy dish featuring salmon glazed with a sweet and savory sake-mirin sauce, complemented by a creamy cauliflower purée.


Ingredients

  • 4 Salmon fillets
  • 1/4 cup Sake
  • 1/4 cup Mirin
  • 1/4 cup Soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp Brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp Sesame seeds
  • 1 head Cauliflower
  • 2 Tbsp Miso paste
  • 2 cloves Black garlic
  • 4 Radishes
  • Micro shiso for garnish
  • Yuzu gel for garnish


Instructions

  1. Prepare the sake-mirin glaze by combining sake, mirin, soy sauce, and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Marinade the salmon fillets in the glaze for about 30 minutes.
  3. Sauté the salmon in a skillet over medium-high heat until caramelized.
  4. For the cauliflower purée, steam the cauliflower until tender, then blend with miso paste until smooth.
  5. Prepare the black garlic emulsion by blending black garlic with olive oil until smooth.
  6. Slice the radishes thinly for the salad.
  7. To plate, spread the cauliflower purée, place the salmon on top, drizzle with black garlic emulsion, and garnish with sesame seeds, radish salad, micro shiso, and a touch of yuzu gel.

Notes

Let the salmon marinate well for flavor absorption. Avoid overcooking the salmon; it should be flakey but moist.
