Ingredients

🐟 1 piece of fresh salmon, skin on
🥄 3 tablespoons miso paste (fermented soybean purée)
🍲 4 cups fish stock
🍃 1 kaffir lime leaf
🌶 1 red chili, finely chopped
🫚 1-inch piece of ginger, finely sliced
🥦 150g tenderstem broccoli
🥬 1 head of bok choy
🍄 100g enoki mushrooms
🍶 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Instructions

1- Prepare the Broth:

• In a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, add the miso paste.
• Gradually whisk in the fish stock until the paste is fully dissolved and the broth is smooth.
• Add the kaffir lime leaf, chopped chili, and sliced ginger to infuse flavors.
• Bring the broth to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.

2- Poach the Salmon:

• Place the salmon into the simmering broth, skin side down, ensuring it's submerged.
• Use a ladle to occasionally bathe the top of the salmon with the broth, cooking gently.
• Allow the salmon to poach in the broth until it is just firm and opaque, about 5-7 minutes.
• Carefully remove the salmon from the broth with a fish slice and let it rest for 2 minutes. Remove the skin and gently flake.

3- Prepare the Vegetables:

• While the salmon cools, bring the broth back to a boil.
• Slice the bok choy, separating the leaves from the stems.
• Add the tenderstem broccoli and bok choy stems to the boiling broth. Cook for 1 minute, then add the bok choy leaves.

4- Final Assembly:

• In a serving bowl, drizzle toasted sesame oil to lightly coat the surface.
• Arrange the enoki mushrooms at the bottom of the bowl.
• Gently place the flaked salmon on top.
• Add the cooked vegetables and pour a ladle of hot miso broth over everything to combine the flavors.

5- Serve and Enjoy:

• Present the soup with a second ladle of broth on the side if desired, allowing guests to customize their broth level.
