Miso Salmon Sandwiches With Spicy Avocado Mayonnaise Recipes

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk the yolk together with the salt, pepper, mustard, and lemon juice. Add the olive oil in a thin stream, very slowly at first, whisking constantly. Keep whisking until all the olive oil is completely absorbed. Whisk in the boiling water to stabilize the mayonnaise. In another bowl mash together the avocado and the lime juice. Stir the avocado, onion, and parsley into the mayonnaise and cover. If not using right away, refrigerate for up to 2 days.

Steps:

• 1. About 15 minutes before cooking, take the salmon out of the refrigerator and bring to room temperature. Season salmon with salt and black pepper.
• 2. In a cast iron skillet or heavy skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium- high heat. Put salmon into the skillet and cook until brown. Turn the salmon, reduce heat to medium and cook until the second side is brown and salmon is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork. Put the salmon on a plate and let cool.
• 3. In a small bowl, mix together miso paste, dried basil and cream cheese.
• 4. When the salmon has cooled, flake the salmon flesh with fork and put into the miso mixture bowl. Mix to combine. Add black pepper to taste.
• 5. Spread the salmon mixture on one side of 2 bread slices, place on a cookie sheet with the other 2 slices of bread and toast in preheated 350 degrees F oven for 5-7 minutes until breads are lightly brown or your desired doneness.
• 6. Slice avocado thinly lengthwise.
• 7. In a non-stick skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add avocado slices and cook until the bottom sides are lightly brown. Flip and cook the other sides until lightly brown. Season with salt and black pepper. Take the avocado slices out and place on a plate.
• 8. In the same skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add tomato slices and cook until the bottom sides are lightly brown. Flip and cook the other sides until lightly brown. Season with salt and black pepper. Take the tomato slices out and place on another plate.
• 9. With a pair of scissors, cut the nori sheet into several small sections, stack all and cut thin strips.
• 10. Assemble sandwiches. On two bread slices with salmon mixture, put tomato slices, avocado slices evenly and sprinkle sesame seeds and nori on top evenly. Put the other 2 slices of bread to close each sandwich.

Steps:

• Stir together the miso, mirin, sugar and sake, if using. Place the salmon fillets on a plate or in a medium food bag and cover with the miso marinade. Leave in the fridge for at least 30 mins or, better still, overnight.
• Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Lightly oil a baking tray. Use kitchen paper to wipe off the marinade (don't be tempted to wash it off as you will lose some of the flavour). Place the fillets on the baking tray, skin side down. Cook in the oven for 15 mins until the fish flakes easily and is cooked through.
• Meanwhile, make the cucumber salad. Using a vegetable peeler, shave the cucumber into long, thin ribbons. Whisk together the rice wine vinegar, oil and sugar. Toss the cucumber ribbons in the dressing, then curl them up on two plates. Serve with the salmon and some plain white rice sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds.
