step-by-step

instructions

Cook Along

1 Prepare the ingredients

Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel the carrots and grate on the large side of a box grater. Cut off and discard any stem ends from the green beans; place in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper; toss to coat. In a separate bowl, combine the mayonnaise and yuzu kosho; season with salt and pepper.

2 Cook the carrots

In a medium pot, combine the miso paste and 1/2 cup of hot water; whisk until the miso has dissolved. Add the candied ginger, grated carrots, and vinegar. Cook on medium-high, stirring occasionally, 5 to 7 minutes, or until the carrots are softened and the liquid has reduced in volume. Transfer to a bowl. Rinse and wipe out the pot.

3 Prepare the fish

Meanwhile, line a sheet pan with foil. Pat the fish dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper on both sides. Place on one side of the sheet pan, skin side down. Transfer half the yuzu mayo to a bowl and set aside for serving. Evenly top the fish with the remaining yuzu mayo, breadcrumbs (pressing gently to adhere), and sesame seeds. Drizzle with olive oil.

4 Cook & finish the rice

Carefully rinse the rice (sifting through for any impurities). Drain thoroughly. In the same pot, combine the rice, a big pinch of salt, and 1 cup 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 cooked carrots; stir to combine.

5 Finish & serve your dish

Meanwhile, carefully add the seasoned green beans in an even layer to the other side of the sheet pan of prepared fish. Roast 10 to 13 minutes, or until the green beans are tender when pierced with a fork and the fish is lightly browned and cooked through.* Remove from the oven. Serve the roasted fish and green beans with the finished rice. Top the fish with the reserved yuzu mayo. Enjoy!

*The USDA recommends a minimum safe cooking temperature of 165F for chicken.
