Pan-Fried Salmon with Sweet Miso Marinade
- 4 fillets Fresh salmon
- 1 tbsp Sake
- 1 dash Salt
- 1 Potato starch flour (katakuriko)
- 1 Vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp Sake
- 6 tbsp Sugar
- 1 tbsp water
- 3 tbsp Miso
- Use a fish bone extractor or a knife to remove the bones.
- Cut one fillet into 3 equal pieces.
- Partially slice open the salmon pieces, like you would to butterfly them.
- Place in a tray, add sake and salt, and lightly rub it in.
- Set aside for 10 minutes.
- Prepare the sweet miso sauce.
- In a small pan, add the sake and sugar and cook over medium heat.
- Bring to a boil, and once the sugar dissolves, add the water and miso and stir with a wooden spatula.
- Turn off the heat once the sauce becomes smooth.
- Spread out on a pan or plate to cool.
- Take the salmon prepared in Step 3 and fill in the cut openings in the fish with the miso from Step 6, as if sandwiching the sauce.
- Coat evenly all around in the potato starch flour.
- Heat a moderate amount of vegetable oil in a pan, and evenly distribute the salmon prepared in Step 8.
- Pan-fry over medium heat.
- Once golden brown, turn over and brown the other side.
- Use a rack to drain off any excess oil.
- And it's complete.
- If desired, top with any remaining miso sauce left over from Step 7.
