Sake Salmon And Rice Recipes

SAKE SALMON AND RICE

Steps:

• In a plastic sealable bag, combine the mustard, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, oil, and sake; add the salmon fillets. Leave to marinate for about 20 minutes.
• Place rice in medium saucepan and add 2 cups water along with the cardamom pods. Bring to a boil, cover, turn down heat to low and simmer about 15 minutes or until water is absorbed. Keep lid on and set aside.
• Heat a nonstick skillet, and cook the salmon fillets for 1 1/2 minutes on one side, turn over and cook a minute on the other side. Remove the salmon, double wrapping each fillet in foil parcels and let them rest for 10 minutes on a wooden board.
• Bring the sake to a boil in a small saucepan, and let the alcohol evaporate. Take pan off heat and add the other sauce ingredients.
• Unwrap the salmon fillets, placing them on a cutting board. Arrange some of the warm rice on 2 serving plates, and slice the salmon fillets into thin slices. Place the carved salmon on top of the rice and drizzle over the sauce. Sprinkle the cilantro on top. Serve and enjoy!

SALMON RICE

Steps:

• Sprinkle the salmon with 1 teaspoon of salt on all sides and place it on a few layers of paper towels set on a rack. Refrigerate the salmon overnight.
• To make the rice, wash it in a strainer until the water runs mostly clear. Add the rice to a heavy-bottomed pot along with the water, sake, and konbu. Cover this with a lid and let the rice soak for at least 20 minutes.
• When the rice is done soaking, turn the heat on to high and bring the mixture to a boil. As soon as it's boiling, turn down the heat to low and set a timer for 12 minutes. Do not open the lid during this time.
• When the timer goes off, have the salmon ready to go into the pot with one hand, and use the other hand to open the lid (careful, the lid may be hot). Quickly slide the salmon in over the rice and close the lid immediately.
• Set a timer for 15 minutes and let the rice and salmon steam.
• When the timer goes off, remove the salmon from the pot. When it's cool enough to handle, remove, and discard the skin and any remaining bones. Add the salmon back into the rice and stir it all together.
• Serve Japanese Salmon Rice in rice bowls. You can garnish with ikura and mitsuba if you like.

SALMON KASUZUKE (SAKE LEES MARINATED SALMON)

Steps:

• Gather all the ingredients.
• Sprinkle salt on both sides of salmon and set aside for 30 minutes.
• Remove the excess moisture on the salmon with a paper towel.
• Place the salmon in the kasudoko. All sides must be covered completely.
• Marinate in the kasudoko for 6-24 hours.

SAKE SALMON AND RICE

Steps:

• In a freezer bag, combine the mustard or wasabi paste, Worcestershire sauce, soy, oil, and sake and add the salmon fillets. Leave to marinate for about 20 minutes.
• Follow packet instructions for the rice, or rice-cooker handbook or just put rice in a pan, bruise cardamom pods and chuck them in too, and put double the volume of water as you have rice. Bring to the boil, then turn down to the lowest you possibly can, clamp on a lid and leave until the rice has absorbed the water and is cooked, about 15 minutes.
• Heat a smooth griddle or nonstick skillet, and cook the salmon fillets for 1 1/2 minutes on 1 side then a minute on the other side. Remove the salmon, double wrapping each fillet in foil parcels and let them rest for 10 minutes on a wooden board or a pile of newspapers.
• Bring the sake to a boil in a tiny little saucepan, like one you might melt butter in, to let the alcohol taste evaporate. Take the pan off the heat and add the other sauce ingredients.
• Unwrap the salmon fillets, removing them to a wooden board for carving as you do so.
• Arrange some freshly boiled rice on 2 plates, and slice the salmon fillets into thin slices. Lay the carved salmon on top of the rice and spoon over the sauce, letting it gloss the fish and drip here and there over the rice. Scatter the cilantro on top.

SAKE AND MISO MARINATED SALMON WITH COCONUT RICE AND BROCCOLINI

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the miso, brown sugar, sake and mirin. Place the salmon, skin-side down, in a large resealable bag. Pour in the marinade and close the bag. Lightly massage to coat the salmon with the marinade. Place the bag flat on a sheet tray. Marinate for 12 to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
• Preheat the broiler (on low if you have a low and high setting).
• Line an 18-by-13-inch sheet pan with foil and fit with an 8 1/2-by-12-inch wire rack on one side. Drizzle or brush the rack and aluminum foil with some olive oil.
• Remove the salmon from the marinade and sprinkle with salt. Place the salmon fillets side-by-side, skin-side down, on top of the rack. Spread the broccolini in a single layer on the other half of the sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle the broccolini with the crushed red pepper flakes and salt.
• Broil on the top rack until the salmon reaches 135 degrees F, 5 to 7 minutes.
• If desired, remove the salmon skin from the fillets before serving. Serve the salmon and broccolini with a side of Coconut Rice.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt the coconut oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the rinsed rice to the pot and stir. (This creates a nice fat barrier to ensure well-separated grains of rice.) Add the coconut milk, salt and 2 cups water to the pot. Give it a good stir and cover with a lid. Bring to a boil, then immediately lower to a gentle simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes, then take off the heat with the lid still on and let the rice rest for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place the shredded coconut on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Bake until golden brown and crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool.
• Fluff the rice with a fork and serve with the lime wedges and a nice sprinkle of toasted coconut.
