Ingredient IQ
In Japanese, shichimi togarashi literally translates to “seven-flavor chile pepper.” Along with dried chile flakes, the seasoning blend typically includes dried orange peel, Sichuan peppercorns, dried seaweed, and sesame seeds. It was likely invented in the 17th century by medicinal herb sellers in Edo (now Tokyo). Sprinkle any leftovers on your morning scrambled eggs or on your lunchtime chicken, pork, tofu, or steamed vegetables.

Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Cook the rice

Heat the oven to 400°F.
  • Rinse the rice.
In a small sauce pot, combine the rice and 1 cup [1½ cups] water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork, cover, and keep warm. Meanwhile, prepare the fish and eggplant.

2

Prep and roast the fish and eggplant

  • Pat the fish dry with a paper towel.
  • Remove the stem from the eggplant. Cut the eggplant crosswise into ½-inch-thick slices.
On one end of a sheet pan [on 1 sheet pan], place the fish (skin side down for the skin-on salmon and snapper) and rub all over with 1 to 2 teaspoons oil; season generously with salt and pepper and as much shichimi togarashi as you like. On the other end of the sheet pan [on a 2nd sheet pan], place the eggplant slices in a single layer. Brush the tops evenly with 1 to 2 teaspoons oil and the miso-maple glaze; season lightly with salt and pepper.
Roast, rotating the pan halfway through, until the fish is opaque and flaky and the eggplant is tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the salad.

3

Make the carrot-edamame salad

In a medium bowl, toss together the carrots, edamame, slaw dressing, and 1 teaspoon [2 tsp] oil; season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the rice, fish, eggplant, and salad to individual plates and serve.
