Instructions
- 1
In a small bowl, whisk together white miso paste, yuzu juice, mirin, and honey to create the glaze.
~2 min - 2
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
~1 min - 3
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Sear salmon fillets, skin-side down first (if applicable), for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
~10 min - 4
During the last 2 minutes of cooking the salmon, brush the glaze generously over the fillets.
~2 min - 5
While the salmon is cooking, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped shallot and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.
~3 min - 6
Add the Arborio rice to the saucepan and toast for 1-2 minutes until the edges are slightly translucent.
~2 min - 7
Stir in the minced black garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
~1 min - 8
Begin adding the warm vegetable broth, one ladleful at a time, stirring constantly until each ladleful is absorbed before adding the next. Continue this process until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes.
~20 min - 9
Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and grated Parmesan cheese into the risotto. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
~2 min - 10
Serve the yuzu miso glazed salmon over the black garlic risotto.

Tips
- For an extra pop of flavor and visual appeal, garnish with toasted sesame seeds or thinly sliced scallions.
- Leftover risotto can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of broth or water to restore creaminess.
