Poached Fish With Miso Sauce Recipes

POACHED FISH

Poached Fish image

This is one of my favorite ways to cook fish. Add a lovely sauce it is so moist and tasty. I like to poach Salmon, cod and sea bass. There are many sauce recipes here on Zaar or serve it plain with a dab of butter. I like to use a lightly greased rack so the fish is just above the water, espcially if it is a skinless filet

STRIPED BASS POACHED IN SPICY SOY SAUCE

Striped Bass Poached In Spicy Soy Sauce image

Poaching fish in a mixture of soy sauce and water is a simple, fast method that adds gorgeous flavor to fillets, which emerge moist and succulent. It is also flexible and forgiving, with a cooking liquid that can accommodate a host of seasonings. Here those seasonings are sugar (to cut the saltiness of the soy sauce), scallions and an optional fresh or dried chile pepper (either minced or put in whole), but you could experiment with ginger, garlic, lime juice or other flavors. Combine all the ingredients, except the bass, in a skillet. Bring to a boil, add the fish flesh-side-down, and adjust the heat so that the mixture does not bubble too aggressively. The fish cooks in 8 to 10 minutes, until its flesh is mahogany-colored and doesn't resist when you slice in with a thin-bladed knife. Serve on top of rice, garnished with the cooking liquid and the scallions, which are now limp and tender. Other fish, like cod, halibut, monkfish and salmon, also work, but keep an eye on it as it poaches - you will likely need to adjust the cooking time slightly.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1/3 to 1/2 cup good soy sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
About 15 scallions, trimmed and cut into 2-inch lengths, or 2 or 3 spring onions or 1 large onion, peeled and sliced
1 dried or fresh chile pepper (optional)
About 1 1/2 pounds striped bass fillet, about 1 inch thick

Steps:

Combine the soy sauce, water, sugar, scallions, chile (if using) and 1/2 to 2/3 cup water in a skillet just large enough to hold the fish. Turn the heat to medium high, and bring to a boil.
Add the fish, and adjust the heat so the mixture bubbles but not furiously. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, turning once or twice, until the fish is coated with a brown glaze and cooked through. Serve with white rice, spooning the sauce over all and garnishing with the scallions.

MISO-GLAZED FISH

Miso-Glazed Fish image

Most recipes for miso-glazed fish are for salmon, because fatty fish are well suited for this preparation and salmon is particularly delicious. Nobu Matsuhisa is known for his miso-marinated black cod, which he marinates for two to three days. I can't imagine finding fish fresh enough to marinate for that long, so in my recipe I marinate the fish for a few hours before broiling and then finishing, if necessary, in the oven. The marinade is based on the Matsuhisa recipe, but I've reduced the sugar considerably.

Time 3h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1/4 cup mirin
1/4 cup sake
3 tablespoons white or yellow miso paste
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons dark sesame oil
4 salmon, trout, Arctic char, mahi mahi or black cod fillets, about 6 ounces each

Steps:

Combine the mirin and sake in the smallest saucepan you have and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil 20 seconds, taking care not to boil off much of the liquid, then turn the heat to low and stir in the miso and the sugar. Whisk over medium heat without letting the mixture boil until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and whisk in the sesame oil. Allow to cool. Transfer to a wide glass or stainless steel bowl or baking dish.
Pat the fish fillets dry and brush or rub on both sides with the marinade, then place them in the baking dish and turn them over a few times in the marinade remaining in the dish. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate for 2 to 3 hours, or for up to a day.
Light the broiler or prepare a grill. Line a sheet pan with foil and oil the foil. Tap each fillet against the sides of the bowl or dish so excess marinade will slide off. Place skin side up on the baking sheet if broiling.
Place the fish skin side down on the grill, or skin side up under the broiler, about 6 inches from the heat. Broil or grill for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until the surface browns and blackens in spots. If necessary (this will depend on the thickness of the fillets) finish in a 400-degree oven, for about 5 minutes, until the fish is opaque and can be pulled apart easily with a fork.

Cod With Miso-Butternut Squash Sauce image

Mild, flaky cod gets an ideal counterpart in this silky-creamy miso-butternut squash sauce flavored with ginger and topped with lemon, cilantro, and chili crisp.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2 Tbsp. raw sesame oil or vegetable oil
1 medium shallot, sliced
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 1" piece ginger, peeled, finely chopped
¼ cup white miso
1 (2-lb.) butternut squash, peeled, halved, seeds removed, cut into 1" pieces
1 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 2¾ tsp. Morton kosher salt
1 Tbsp. pure maple syrup (optional)
2 lb. skinless, boneless cod fillet, cut into 4" pieces
Kosher salt
Juice of ½ lemon
Steamed rice, cilantro leaves with tender stems, chili crisp (such as Lao Gan Ma), and lemon wedges (for serving)

Steps:

Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium. Cook shallot, garlic, and ginger, stirring often, until shallot is softened and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add miso and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add squash, salt, maple syrup (if using), and 4 cups water and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover pot. Cook until squash is very tender, 20-25 minutes.
Carefully purée squash and cooking liquid with an immersion blender until smooth. (Alternatively, you can carefully use a standard blender and work in 2 batches, keeping a towel over the lid and transferring to a medium bowl as you go.) Do ahead: Purée can be made 3 days ahead. Transfer to an airtight container; cover and chill.
Bring squash purée to a simmer over medium heat (return to same pot if you puréed in a standard blender). Season cod lightly with salt. Reduce heat to low and place cod in sauce (it should be completely covered). Cover pot and cook cod, turning over halfway through, until fish is opaque throughout and flakes easily with a fork, 15-17 minutes. Remove pot from heat and gently stir lemon juice into sauce.
Divide rice among bowls and ladle cod and sauce over. Top with cilantro and serve with chili crisp and lemon wedges for squeezing over.
