Miso Salmon with English Pea Sauce
Recipe created by Chef Michel Nischan
Miso is one of the most remarkable foods. It can be part of the meal or act as a seasoning. Want to get more soy in your diet? Try miso.
Servings: Makes 4 servings
Ingredients
Directions
Put the pea juice in a small, heavy saucepan and cook, stirring constantly, over low heat until the juice begins to thicken. Remove from the heat and continue stirring for about 3 minutes, or until the juice stops cooking. Season with salt and pepper, set aside and keep warm.
In a small bowl, whisk the miso and soy sauce together until blended. Smear the mixture on both sides of each salmon fillet. Lay the fillets in a single layer in a shallow glass or ceramic dish, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Heat a medium ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and sear the fillets for 3 to 4 minutes, or until well browned on the bottom. Turn the fillets over and transfer the skillet to the oven. Roast for 3 to 4 minutes, or until opaque throughout.
Spoon the pea sauce into the center of each of 4 warmed shallow bowls. Put a fillet on top of the sauce in each bowl and serve immediately.
Note: When you juice fruits and vegetables, buy more than you think you will need. Wash the peas under cold running water, then place in a juicer. To yield one cup of juice, you'll need about one pound of English peas (2 cups shelled).
