Orange Roasted Seafood And Kunomoto Oysters With White Miso Sauce Recipes

OYSTERS WITH MISO GLAZE

Steps:

• Arrange oysters on a baking sheet, using crumpled foil or rock salt to keep them steady. A large madeleine pan covered in foil is an excellent alternative. Measure the oyster juices and, if needed, add enough clam juice or fish stock to make 1/2 cup. Heat broiler.
• In a saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add shallots and sauté until soft. Whisk in flour, cook briefly and add oyster juice and lemon juice, whisking until blended. Whisk in miso, then gradually whisk in cream. Cook 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Mix in crumbs.
• Spoon mixture on oysters, covering them completely. Broil 5 minutes until glazed and bubbling. Serve.

KUMAMOTO OYSTERS WITH PONZU GRANITA AND TOBIKO

Steps:

• Make granita:
• Bring kombu and water to a simmer in a small saucepan over moderate heat, then remove from heat and cool completely, about 30 minutes. Discard kombu. Transfer 5 tablespoons kombu broth to a bowl along with remaining granita ingredients and stir until sugar is dissolved. (Reserve remaining broth for another use.)
• Pour granita mixture into an 8-inch metal baking pan and freeze, stirring and crushing lumps with a fork every 20 minutes, until evenly frozen, about 1 hour. Scrape with a fork to lighten texture, crushing any lumps.
• Open oysters and assemble dish:
• Wearing protective glove, hold an oyster, flat side up, and open it at its narrow point with oyster knife. Loosen oyster from top shell with oyster knife if necessary, discarding top shell, then loosen oyster meat within curved bottom shell, keeping it in shell. Discard any loose bits of shell. Arrange oyster on bed of seaweed and repeat with remaining oysters in same manner.
• Top each oyster with a scant 1/4 teaspoon tobiko. Serve granita on the side.

SESAME-CRUSTED SALMON WITH ORANGE-MISO SAUCE

Steps:

• Whisk first 6 ingredients in medium bowl to blend well. Season orange-miso sauce to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before serving.)
• Line large baking sheet with foil. Place salmon and vegetable oil in large bowl; toss to coat. Sprinkle salmon with salt and pepper. Place sesame seeds on small plate. Coat 1 surface of each salmon piece with sesame seeds. Arrange salmon, sesame-coated side up, in single layer on prepared baking sheet. (Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover; chill.)

ROASTED SALMON WITH MISO RICE AND GINGER-SCALLION VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a medium saucepan, whisk miso with 2 1/4 cups water until dissolved. Stir in rice and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and cook until all of the liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork (it will be a little sticky).
• On a rimmed baking sheet, rub salmon all over with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and arrange skin-side up. Roast until fish is just opaque and cooked to medium, 8 to 10 minutes.
• In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, scallions, vinegar and ginger, and season with salt and pepper.
• Divide miso rice and cabbage among bowls. Top with salmon, ginger-scallion vinaigrette and sesame oil.
