Miso is a Japanese fermented soybean paste known for its intense savory flavor. Commonly used to season soups and broths this paste is also perfect for adding a punch of umami flavor to marinades and glazes. In this recipe we combine mirin (a sweetened rice cooking wine) with brown sugar, miso, and garlic to create a flavorful glaze that’s sweet, savory, and garlicky. Once you try this glaze you’ll be putting it on everything.

3) During the cook, combine 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 1 tbsp white miso, and 1 tbsp mirin in a small bowl. Mix until well combined into a smooth paste.

4) After the cook is complete, remove the salmon, brussel sprouts, and rice from Suvie. Remove the salmon from packaging and pat dry with paper towels.

5) Return salmon to the Suvie pan and spread the miso glaze over the fillets with a brush or spoon.

6) Toss brussel sprouts with ½ tbsp oil and season to taste with salt and pepper. Return brussel sprouts and salmon to Suvie. Broil brussel sprouts for 15 minutes and broil salmon for 8 minutes or until browned, watching closely as this step goes fast.

7) During the broil, season the rice to taste with salt. Divide the rice between plates and top with the broiled brussels sprouts and miso-glazed salmon, garnish with the sliced scallions.

Wine Pairing

We recommend pairing this meal with a good quality dry Riesling. This German wine works well with oily fish like salmon and pairs wonderfully with the salty, sweet, and smokey notes of the miso glaze.

To clarify, are you vacuum sealing the Brussels sprouts too for the Sous vide cooking portion on the top zone; 120 degrees for 30 minutes?

What are the steam directions? The recipe says sous vide both zones.

Hi Marcus, the Brussel sprouts are warmed through in Step 1 and then broiled to finish in Step 6, so there isn’t a steam step. If you’d like to steam the Brussel sprouts, pour 1/3 cup water into a Suvie pan and place the Suvie roasting rack into the pan with the Brussel sprouts on top. Steam for 25 minutes. In Step 6 you may not need to broil for as long (so watch closely to avoid overcooking), but be sure to thoroughly pat the sprouts dry to ensure they brown.
