Ingredients

  • 1 Chrysanthemum greens and mushrooms (shimeji, etc.)
  • 1 Salmon filet (raw, not salted)
  • 3 or so 7 mm thick slices Onion
  • 1 heaping tablespoon Miso
  • 2 heaping teaspoons Sugar
  • 2 tsp Hon-mirin (real mirin)
  • 1 1/2 tsp Sake
  • 1 tsp Soy sauce
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons Finely chopped green onion
  • 1 tbsp Grated ginger
  • 1 touch (or to your liking) Grated garlic
  • 1 tbsp Coarsely ground sesame seeds
  • 2 pinch Shichimi spice

Method

  • These are the ingredients for 1 serving.
  • The sauce is for 2 servings though, so don't use it all.
  • Wash the salmon quickly and dry well.
  • Season lightly with salt and white pepper, and sprinkle with a little sake.
  • (These are not listed in the ingredients.)
  • Make the sauce.
  • The garlic is used to counteract the 'raw' flavor of the salmon.
  • You won't taste it though.
  • Mix all the sauce ingredients together...
  • It's pretty thick.
  • So let's wrap the fish!
  • Spread out a pretty generous piece of foil.
  • There's no need to oil it.
  • No need to wipe the sake off the salmon.
  • Line the foil with the onion slices, and top with some of the miso sauce.
  • Layer on the salmon, and more sauce.
  • Put the mushrooms and leek (the white part) on the sides, and add the greens last.
  • Cut another piece of foil.
  • Put it on top, and tightly close up the sides.
  • Heat a frying pan over low-medium heat.
  • No lid needed!
  • Cook like this for 15 minutes.
  • The miso and onion will burn a bit on the bottom, and smell very nice.
  • When you smell it toasting, that means it's done.
  • Transfer to a serving plate and rip off the foil.
  • (This part is exciting!)
  • Done!
  • The burned onions are so delicious... You can make this on the stovetop, so in the winter you're killing two birds with one stone.
  • If it starts to smell a bit toasted, you should probably take it out before it burns!
