Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tbsp olive oil (divided)
  • 10.5 ounces shiitakes (torn into pieces)
  • 1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 small yellow onion (diced)
  • 1 celery stalk (diced)
  • 1 garlic clove (minced)
  • 1 cup rice (like sushi rice or Arborio)
  • ¼ cup non-alcoholic white wine
  • 5 cups hot chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp white miso paste
  • black pepper (for serving)
  • chives (for serving)
  • sesame seeds (for serving)
  • 5 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp non-alcoholic white wine
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 4 skinless salmon fillets
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Step: In a shallow dish, combine soy sauce, non-alcoholic white wine and brown sugar. Add salmon fillets, coat both sides. Set aside to marinate.
  2. Step: Tear the shiitakes into small pieces, finely dice the celery stalk, mince the garlic and finely chop the onion.
  3. Step: Heat 1 tablespoon oil over high in a heavy bottomed pot or skillet. Add shiitakes and cook until they release their moisture. Add 1 tablespoon oil and cook until they start to brown. Stir in soy sauce and cook for 1 minute more. Remove from skillet.
  4. Step: Reduce heat to medium low and add 1 tablespoon oil. Then add the celery, onion and garlic. Cook for 2 minutes until fragrant. Add rice and toast for 1 minute. Deglaze with non-alcoholic white wine, simmer for 2 minutes while scraping up the brown bits from the bottom of the skillet using a wooden spoon.
  5. Step: Add 2 ladles chicken broth at a time, stirring frequently, until the broth has been almost completely absorbed before adding the next 2 ladles. Cook until the rice is almost al dente, about 15 minutes. Stir in shiitakes. Dissolve miso with 2 tablespoons hot broth and add to risotto. Simmer about 5 minutes until the risotto is ready, add more broth if needed.
  6. Step: Heat oil and butter over medium high in a nonstick skillet. Add salmon and sear 4 minutes per side.
  7. Step: Serve salmon over risotto, top with black pepper, chives and sesame seeds.

Notes

Never rinse the rice before cooking it, because rice starch is so valuable when making risotto.
