Serve the tender salmon with your favorite grain, crunchy cucumber, and scallions for a stunning supper with just a handful of ingredients.  

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Kuze Fuku & Sons Shiso Miso
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • 1¼ teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 4-pound fillet Columbia River King Salmon, cut into long 3-inch wide strips (total of 6)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup Pinot Gris (We love Willamette Valley Vineyards 2022)
  • ⅓ cup chopped green onions
  • 1 cucumber, sliced

Optional

  • Rice, for serving

Preparation

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the shiso miso, olive oil, and salt.
  2. Place the salmon on a large parchment paper-lined cutting board. Generously brush each piece with the shiso mixture.
  3. Melt the butter in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add the salmon fillets, working in batches if necessary, leaving 1 to 2 inches of space in the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes (depending on the thickness), then add the wine. Continue cooking, covering the pan as needed, until the salmon reaches 125°F internal temperature on an instant-read thermometer, another 2 to 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
  5. Top the salmon with green onions and cucumber and serve with rice, if you like. Enjoy!
