with Salmon

From the Test Kitchen

Here, you'll coat tilapia fillets in a combination of flour and togarashi---a staple of Japanese cuisine that highlights poppy seeds, dried orange peel, and more---before frying them in oil to achieve a delicate crust. Sautéed bok choy and mushrooms over fluffy white rice are the perfect accompaniment to this crispy, flaky fish.

step-by-step

instructions

Cook Along

1 Cook the rice

Carefully rinse the rice (sifting through for any impurities). Drain thoroughly. In a medium pot, combine the rice, a big pinch of salt, and 2 cups of water. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, without stirring, 13 to 15 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Turn off the heat and fluff with a fork. Add the sesame oil; stir to combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Cover to keep warm.

2 Prepare the ingredients

Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce. Thinly slice the mushrooms. Cut off and discard the root ends of the bok choy, then thinly slice crosswise. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Roughly chop the peanuts.

3 Cook the vegetables

In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the sliced mushrooms in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the sliced bok choy and chopped garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until softened and the bok choy leaves are wilted. Add the soy sauce (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the liquid has cooked off. Transfer to a bowl and cover with foil to keep warm. Rinse and wipe out the pan.

4 Cook the fish

Pat the fish dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides. Season only on the skinless side with the togarashi (you'll omit the flour for salmon). In the same pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high. Add the seasoned fish, skin side down. Cook 5 to 7 minutes, or until the skin is browned and crispy. Flip and cook 1 to 2 minutes, or until lightly browned and cooked through.* Turn off the heat.

*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 145°F for fish.

5 Make the sauce & serve your dish

Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the sesame dressing, mayonnaise, and as much of the yuzu kosho as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be. Serve the cooked fish with the cooked rice and cooked vegetables. Top the fish with the sauce. Garnish with the chopped peanuts. Enjoy!
