Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp white miso paste, 2 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp sake, and 1 tsp sugar until smooth and free of lumps.
  2. Step 2: Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and brush generously with 1/2 the miso glaze, making sure to cover the skin side to prevent sticking.
  3. Step 3: Heat 1 tsp sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then place salmon skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes until skin is crisp and golden, then flip and cook for 3 minutes more.
  4. Step 4: Add sliced bamboo shoots to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes until tender-crisp, then pour the remaining miso glaze over the salmon and bamboo shoots, simmering for 1 minute until glossy and reduced.
  5. Step 5: Transfer salmon to a plate, top with cooked bamboo shoots, and garnish with 2 tbsp sliced green onions before serving.

How do I store leftover Hakata-Style Miso Glazed Salmon with Bamboo Shoots?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep white miso paste from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Hakata-Style Miso Glazed Salmon with Bamboo Shoots?

How do I scale Hakata-Style Miso Glazed Salmon with Bamboo Shoots for a different number of people?
