Total Time: 45 minutes
Servings: 1 portion
Ingredients
Sablefish
5 oz Alaska sablefish
Garlic soy glaze
Hon shimeji mushrooms
Chopped pickled ginger
Sliced chives
Butter
Neutral oil
Garlic Soy Glaze
360 grams soy sauce
10 grams grated fresh ginger
100 grams grated garlic
Seaweed Salad
85 grams dried hijiki
60 grams dried wakame
100 grams kombu dashi
50 grams yondu
100 grams rice wine vinegar
12 grams sesame oil
80 grams chopped pickled ginger
15 grams jalapeno, microplaned
115 grams pickled ginger liquid
Preparation
Make seaweed salad
Bloom wakame and hijiki in cold water for 15 minutes, the strain off. After the seaweed has strained, add to a mixing bowl. Add all other ingredients to the bowl. Mix until fully incorporated. Set aside.
Prepare sablefish
Pat dry the sablefish to ensure a good crust. While sablefish is drying, heat pan on medium high. Once pan is hot add a thin coating of oil. Sear the fish until you see golden edges form on the fish. Next, flip the fish and add 3 oz of cold butter and then start basting. Once there is a gold crust and the fish is cooked through, remove the fish from the pan and let rest.
Make mushrooms
While fish is resting, roast the mushrooms in the same pan that the fish was roasted in. Once they are done, remove from pan and blot any excess oil.
Make glaze
Add garlic, ginger and soy sauce to the still warm pan and add sablefish back in and baste with the garlic soy to glaze.
Assemble
Put a quarter of the seaweed salad into the bottom of the serving vessel you have chosen, and the roasted mushrooms on top of the salad. Place glazed sablefish on top of the seaweed salad. Garnish with chopped pickled ginger and sliced chives.
