Equipment

  • 1 11 inch/ 27cm pan with a lid

Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 tablespoons vegan butter I use Miyoko's brand
  • 1 pound salmon I use Atlantic salmon
  • 1 medium onion sliced
  • 1 large carrot julienned
  • 1 pack shimeji mushrooms base of the cluster cut off
  • 6 ounces green cabbage chopped

For miso sauce

  • 4 tablespoons miso paste
  • 4 tablespoons sake or cooking wine, dry white wine
  • 2 tablespoons mirin
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Optional toppings

  • chopped scallion
  • toasted white sesame

Instructions
 

  • Combine all miso sauce ingredients together and set aside.
  • Heat up the butter in a pan. Cook the salmon with the skin side up for one minute or until slightly brown. Flip gently and cook the other side for another minute. It does not need to be cooked fully. Transfer the salmon to a plate and set aside.
  • Using the same pan (with butter left inside), cook the onion and carrots for 2 minutes or until slightly tender.
  • Add in the shimeji mushrooms and cabbage. Mix the vegetables.
  • Place back the salmon on top of the vegetables, with the skin side down. Drizzle the miso sauce mix over the salmon. Cover with a lid and steam for 4-5 minutes or until the salmon is cooked.
  • Break the salmon meat and serve with the vegetables cooked together. Optional: sprinkle with chopped scallions and sesame.
