Three cheers for ebichiri! Salmon with chili sauce, also called ebi no chiri-sōsu in Japanese, smartly sets the natural sweetness of fish against heat-packing pepper paste. You’ll sear the salmon with garlic for depth, then coat it in gochujang, ketchup and demi-glace to create a fiery glow. Match it with high-value shiitake mushrooms and just-tender bok choy, and settle each bowl with warm rice simmered with ginger and garlic to imbue it with fragrance.

Preparation
Cook the rice
In a medium pot, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add ½ the ginger and ½ the garlic. Sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the rice, 1 ¼ cups water (double for 4 portions) and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 17 to 20 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Fluff the rice.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, thinly slice the mushrooms. Remove the root ends of the bok choy; halve lengthwise (quarter if large).
Sauté the vegetables
In a large pan, heat a generous drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the remaining ginger and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the mushrooms and bok choy. Sauté, 3 to 4 min., until nicely browned and tender; season with S&P.
Start the salmon
Meanwhile, pat the salmon dry with paper towel; season with S&P. In a second large pan (non-stick if possible), heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Add the remaining garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant. Add the salmon and cook, 2 to 3 min. on one side, until partially cooked.
Make the sauce & finish the salmon
To the pan of salmon, add the ketchup, gochujang, demi-glace and 3 tbsp water (double for 4 portions). Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 min., until the salmon* is coated and cooked as desired.
Plate your dish
Divide the rice between your bowls. Top with the vegetables, salmon and sauce. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking fish to a minimum internal temperature of 70°C.
