Yep - I did it - I took one of the simplest, most amazing preperations for
butterfish aka
black cod aka
whatever and I modified it a bit for our
New Zealand King Salmon.
The recipe for the marinade is really simple. All you need for my version is White Miso, Top-of-the-South Sauvignon Blanc, Mirin and Sugar. Go 1/2 cup on each of the ingredients. Place all ingredients into a sauce pot and bring to a slight boil ensuring you stir often so the sugar disolves.
Let the marinade cool and place your fish into a ziploc bag. Add the marinade. Remove the excess air from the bag and let the marinade work on the fish for three days - rotating the fish in the marinade once or twice per day.
Once you're ready to cook - I heat a convection oven to 450 degrees F and let the salmon cook for 6-8 minutes. I drop the temp to 250 and let the salmon cook for 3-5 more minutes. If you are lacking caramelization - bust out the blow torch.
The end result is a beautifully charred and crispy/caramelized outside with a luscious and flavorful salmon flavor on the inside. Amazing!
