Risotto

  • 3 tbsp olive oil (divided)
  • 10.5 ounces shiitakes (torn into pieces)
  • 1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 small yellow onion (diced)
  • 1 celery stalk (diced)
  • 1 garlic clove (minced)
  • 1 cup rice (like sushi rice or Arborio)
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine (or sake)
  • 5 cups hot chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp white miso paste
  • black pepper (for serving)
  • chives (for serving)
  • sesame seeds (for serving)

Salmon Marinade

  • 5 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp dry white wine
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 4 skinless salmon fillets

For Searing Salmon

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. seasoning
    We start by marinating the salmon fillets. In a shallow dish, combine soy sauce, white wine and brown sugar. Add salmon fillets, coat both sides. Set aside to marinate.
  2. chopping
    In the meantime, tear the shiitakes into small pieces, finely dice the celery stalk, mince the garlic and finely chop the onion.
  3. sautéing
    Heat 1 tablespoon oil over high in a heavy bottomed pot or skillet. Add shiitakes and cook until they release their moisture. Add 1 tablespoon oil and cook until they start to brown. Stir in soy sauce and cook for 1 minute more. Remove from skillet.
  4. cooking
    Reduce heat to medium low and add 1 tablespoon oil. Then add the celery, onion and garlic. Cook for 2 minutes until fragrant. Add rice and toast for 1 minute. Deglaze with white wine, simmer for 2 minutes while scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the skillet using a wooden spoon.
  5. simmering
    Add 2 ladles chicken broth at a time, stirring frequently, until the broth has been almost completely absorbed before adding the next 2 ladles. Cook until the rice is almost al dente, about 15 minutes. It’s possible that you don’t need to use up all of the broth. Stir in shiitakes. Dissolve miso with 2 tablespoons hot broth and add to risotto. Simmer about 5 minutes until the risotto is ready, add more broth if needed.
  6. searing
    In the meantime, prepare the salmon. Heat oil and butter over medium high in a nonstick skillet. Add salmon and sear 4 minutes per side.
  7. serving
    Serve salmon over risotto, top with black pepper, chives and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
