Sake-Butter Glazed Miso Salmon

Ingredients

Directions

1. Start by bringing your water and rice to a boil in a saucepan, then simply lower the heat, cover, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes until the rice is perfectly tender.

2. To save time and lock in flavor, steam your snow peas right on top of the rice during the last 5 minutes of cooking, then set them aside in a bowl once they are vibrant and crisp-tender.

3. Prepare for a beautiful sear by preheating your broiler with a rack set 6 inches from the heat, and place your salmon fillets on a foil-lined baking dish lightly coated with cooking spray.

4. Whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, hot water, and miso to create a savory glaze; spoon it over the salmon and broil for 10 to 15 minutes, basting occasionally until the fish is golden and flakes easily with a fork.

5. While the salmon develops its delicious crust, begin your signature sauce by sautéing aromatic ginger and shallots in butter, then simmer with sake and heavy cream until the mixture reduces into a rich, concentrated base.

6. For a luxurious, velvety finish, whisk in the butter one cube at a time until the sauce is thick and creamy, then stir in the remaining sake, lime juice, and a pinch of salt.

7. To serve your masterpiece, pour a pool of the silky sake sauce onto each plate, nestle the rice in the center, top with the glazed salmon, and garnish with snow peas and fresh chives for a restaurant-quality presentation.
