Dinner & Dessert: Miso-Marinated Salmon + Matcha Ice Cream
We know what's for dinner and dessert tonight — savory glazed salmon and a sweet frozen treat to go with it.
Ingredients
Salmon
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 cloves garlic, grated
- 1 tablespoon sake
- 1 teaspoon miso paste
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 2, 8-ounce salmon fillets, skin removed
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Coconut Scallion Rice
- 1 3/4 cups water
- 1 (13.6-ounce) can coconut milk
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups jasmine rice, rinsed
- 4 scallions, thinly sliced, plus more for garnish
Steps
Salmon
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, garlic, sake, miso paste and ginger until well combined.
- Add salmon to a small, rimmed casserole dish, and pour the marinade over the top.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F, and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Preheat a large cast-iron or ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle with vegetable oil.
- Sear the top of the salmon for about 1 minute until a golden crust forms and the salmon easily releases from the pan.
- Flip the salmon fillets and immediately transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Make sure to reserve any leftover marinade.
- Pour remaining reserved marinade into a small saucepan over medium-high heat and simmer for about 5 minutes until reduced.
- Serve salmon over coconut-scallion rice, drizzle with reduced sauce, and garnish with sliced scallions.
Coconut Scallion Rice
- In a medium saucepan set over medium-high heat, whisk together water, coconut milk and salt to combine.
- Bring mixture to a boil, stir in rice, and lower the heat to a simmer.
- Cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, or until most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Remove from heat and allow to sit, covered, for another five minutes.
- Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the scallions.
Ingredients
Green Tea Ice Cream
- 1 tablespoon matcha green tea powder
- 3 tablespoons hot water
- 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
- 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk, chilled
White Chocolate Magic Shell
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- Black sesame seeds, to garnish
Steps
Green Tea Ice Cream
- In a small bowl, whisk together the matcha powder and hot water. Let sit until it reaches room temperature.
- In a large bowl, using a hand mixer set to high speed, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes.
- Beat in the green tea mixture and the sweetened condensed milk until just combined.
- Transfer the mixture to a metal loaf pan and cover with plastic wrap.
- Freeze for 6 hours or overnight.
White Chocolate Magic Shell
- Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, and microwave on 50 percent power in 15-second increments until melted and smooth, stirring occasionally.
- Cool to room temperature before serving over green tea ice cream. Magic shell will quickly harden over ice cream as it cools.
- Sprinkle with black sesame seeds to garnish.
