Ingredients:
- 2 Hamachi Collars
- 3 tbsp Shiro-Miso
- 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 2 tbsp Mirin
- 2 tbsp Sake
- 2 tbsp Sugar
- Zest of 1 Lime
- 2 tbsp Yuzu Juice
- 6 Shallots
- 2 tbsp your favorite Furikake
- 1 tbsp Sesame Seeds
- 2 stalks Green Onion
- Neutral oil (for frying)
Instructions:
Preparing Green Onion Curls:
- Separate green onion tops from bottoms. Use the green part only.
- Slice vertically through the green onion to create flat planes.
- Stack the green onion flats on top of each other and slice thinly.
- Shock in ice water to curl and reserve for garnish.
Preparing Miso Yuzu Glaze:
- In a bowl, combine shiro-miso, soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, and lime zest. Whisk to combine.
- In a pan over medium heat, bring the mixture to a bubble until it thickens and darkens, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and set aside. Let cool.
- Once cool, add yuzu juice to taste. Reserve for glazing.
Preparing Shallot Crust:
- Peel shallots and slice off the tops. Using a mandolin, slice into even rings about 2-3 mm thick.
- Place shallots in a pot and add neutral oil until just covered.
- Heat over medium heat, agitating intermittently to prevent burning.
- Once shallots reach a very light, even golden color, remove from heat and strain through a sieve.
- Spread drained shallots on trays lined with paper towels, season lightly with salt, and let stand to finish cooking and crisp up.
- Once cool, transfer to a bowl and crush. Add sesame seeds and your favorite furikake, then combine well.
For the Hamachi Collar:
- Preheat your broiler.
- Pat hamachi collars dry with paper towels and place on a tray. Using a brush, apply an even and liberal coating of the miso yuzu glaze.
- Place under the broiler for 3-4 minutes, or until the glaze is set and lightly caramelized.
- Remove from broiler and top immediately with shallot crust while the glaze is still hot and sticky.
- Garnish with green onion curls.
- Serve with rice or enjoy alone!
