  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 1 stalk celery diced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 cup sushi rice or Arborio
  • 0.25 cup dry white wine or sake
  • 5 cups hot chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon white miso paste
  • black pepper for serving
  • chives for serving

Seared Salmon

  • 5 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon dry white wine
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 4 fillets skinless salmon
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Marinate the salmon fillets by combining soy sauce, white wine, and brown sugar in a shallow dish. Add salmon fillets and coat both sides.
  • Tear shiitakes into small pieces, finely dice the celery, mince the garlic, and chop the onion.

Cooking Risotto

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil over high heat in a heavy-bottomed pot. Add shiitakes and cook until they release moisture, then brown them. Stir in soy sauce and cook for 1 minute. Remove from skillet.
  • Reduce heat to medium low, add 1 tablespoon of oil, then add celery, onion, and garlic. Cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Add rice and toast for 1 minute. Deglaze with white wine and simmer for 2 minutes while scraping brown bits from the skillet.
  • Add 2 ladles of chicken broth at a time, stirring frequently, until almost completely absorbed. Cook until rice is nearly al dente, about 15 minutes. Stir in shiitakes.
  • Dissolve miso with 2 tablespoons of hot broth and add to risotto. Simmer for 5 minutes until ready, adding more broth if needed.

Cooking Salmon

  • Heat oil and butter over medium-high in a nonstick skillet. Add salmon and sear for 4 minutes per side.
  • Serve salmon over risotto, topping with black pepper, chives, and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
