Miso Glazed Grilled Scallops Recipes

GRILLED MISO MARINATED SCALLOPS WITH HIJIKI SALAD

Steps:

• Mix all marinade ingredients together and marinate scallops covered and refrigerated for 4 to 6 hours. Large scallops can marinated overnight as well. On a hot grill, mark the scallops on both sides. Should be served medium to medium rare. Serve 3 scallops on top of a small mound of hijiki salad.
• HIJIKI SALAD: In a bowl, pour warm water over seaweed and soak for 30 minutes, or until soft. Boiling hot water will leak out too much flavor. Drain the seaweed well. Mix all other ingredients and toss with the seaweed and cucumber. Check for seasoning.;

GRILLED MISO FISH FILLETS

Steps:

• Rinse the fish steaks under cold, running water and drain thoroughly in a colander. Cut the steaks into six pieces and place in a bowl.
• Add the Miso Marinade to the fish steaks and toss lightly to coat the fish steaks. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate. Let marinate for at least 1 hour, or for several hours.
• Prepare a medium-hot fire for grilling and place the grill about 3 inches above the coals. Remove the fish from the Miso Marinade, spreading the Marinade with your hands so that there is a light coating. Arrange the fish steaks on the grill and cook about 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until the flesh is opaque all the way through. Alternatively you may broil the fish about 7-9 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes when prodded with a knife. The miso glaze should bubble and brown at the edges. Remove and serve with steamed rice and stir-fried or steamed vegetables.

MISO-BROILED SCALLOPS

Steps:

• Put miso in a bowl. Add mirin or wine. Whisk until smooth, adding more mirin if needed. Stir in onion, a pinch of salt and of cayenne. Combine scallops, let sit 10 minutes. Cook right away, or cover and refrigerate for up to a day. When ready to cook, heat a broiler (or grill), setting the rack as close as possible to the heat source.
• Broil until lightly browned, without turning, 3 to 5 minutes, or grill, turning once after 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle with lime juice, and serve.

SCALLOP SAUTé WITH MISO SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Season the scallops with the salt, pepper, and garlic and then lightly dust with flour.
• 2. Heat the oil in a small frying pan. Briefly fry both sides of the scallops until seared on the outside, but still rare in the middle.
• 3. Take the pan off the heat and remove the scallops. Add the white wine and then the miso, mirin, soy sauce, sugar, and water to pan and stir. Return to the heat and being to a boil, stirring, then remove. Mix in the mustard and heavy cream.
• 4. Tear the leaves off the watercress and arrange on a large plate. Chop the stems finely and set aside as a garnish. Place the scallops on the bed of watercress leaves, pour the hot sauce over, and garnish with the finely chopped watercress stems. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve.

MISO-GLAZED GRILLED SEA SCALLOPS

Steps:

• 1. Heat a charcoal or gas grill until very hot. Rub the grill grate with a little vegetable oil, and position grill 3 or 4 inches from the heat.
• 2. In a bowl, whisk together miso, mirin (or sake), sesame oil, and pepper.
• 3. Thread the scallops (through their equators) onto metal or soaked-wooden skewers. Brush scallops lightly with vegetable oil, and grill until they're brown on the bottom and release easily from the grill, about 2 to 3 minutes.
• 4. Turn and brown for 1 to 2 minutes on the other side; total cooking time should be 3 to 5 minutes.
• 5. When they're almost done, brush on both sides with the miso mixture, and continue to cook, turning once or twice, until the glaze caramelizes a bit and the scallops are done; take the scallops off the grill before the interior becomes totally opaque.
• 6. Sprinkle sesame seeds and green onion slices on each serving, and serve immediately.
