Ingredients

Main Ingredients (Saikyo-zuke: 5 fillets, Tsuké-buri: 2 servings)

  • Yellowtail fillets
  • Sushi-grade yellowtail
  • Shiso leaves

Seasonings

  • Salt
  • [A] White Miso Paste
  • [A] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine)
  • [A] Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine)
  • [A] Sugar
  • [B] Shiro Dashi (White Soy Sauce Base)
  • [B] Ponzu (Citrus-Soy Sauce)
  • [B] Toasted Sesame Seeds

Steps

  1. Lightly salt the yellowtail fillets. Let it rest for about 10 minutes until moisture is released to remove any gaminess.
  2. Mix the marinade for the tsuké-buri. Add 3 tbsp Shiro Dashi (White Soy Sauce Base), 2 tbsp water, and 1 tbsp Ponzu (Citrus-Soy Sauce) to a bowl.
  3. Cut the sushi-grade yellowtail into bite-sized pieces for the tsuké-buri.
  4. Add the cut yellowtail to the bowl with the mixed marinade.
  5. Trim the stems from the shiso leaves, roll them up, and thinly slice them.
  6. Add the thinly sliced shiso leaves and 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds to the tsuké-buri bowl and mix everything together.
  7. Marinate the tsuké-buri in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
  8. Mix the marinade for the saikyo-zuke. Add 200g white miso paste, 20ml cooking sake, 20ml mirin, and 20g sugar to a bowl and mix.
  9. Pat dry the moisture from the yellowtail fillets that were salted earlier and place them in a freezer bag.
  10. Add the prepared saikyo-zuke miso to the yellowtail in the freezer bag.
  11. Ensure the miso coats the yellowtail completely.
  12. Seal the bag, removing as much air as possible, and refrigerate to marinate. The flavor will deepen and become more delicious after 4 days.
  13. When grilling the saikyo-zuke, it can easily burn. Create a dome shape with aluminum foil, place the yellowtail on top, and cook slowly over low heat or at a low temperature.
  14. For saikyo-zuke that won't be eaten immediately, freeze it as is.
