SLOW-COOKED SALMON IN MISO-YUZU BROTH
This broth is so good I could drink it by the bowlful. Be sure to serve this with steamed sticky rice. Even better: When I have leftover sticky rice, I press it into small cubes and fry them until crisp and golden brown. You can find konbu, bonito, miso, and yuzu at a Japanese grocery or a well-stocked Asian market.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 300°F. Butter a large rimmed baking sheet.
- Put the konbu on a small baking sheet and bake until dry and brittle, about 8 minutes. It should smell smoky.
- Combine the konbu, chicken stock, and 1 cup water in a large saucepan. Cut the chile in half and add half to the pan. Bring to a simmer, then drop in the bonito. Crush the dill with your hands and stir into the mixture. Remove from the heat, cover, and let steep for 15 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible; discard the solids.
- Mince the remaining chile half and set aside.
- In a small bowl, stir together the miso and 1 cup of the broth until smooth. Return to the saucepan, along with the yuzu juice and remaining broth, and heat just until bubbles form. Do not let the mixture boil.
- Meanwhile, season the salmon with salt and pepper and place on the prepared baking sheet, skin side up. Bake until the salmon skin peels off easily and a thin-bladed knife slides through the side of the fish against the grain with no resistance, about 12 minutes. Remove the skin from each fillet, carefully flip, and transfer to shallow bowls.
- Divide the tofu, ginger, scallion, and tomatoes among the bowls, scattering them around the fish. Spoon the broth over each serving, garnish with basil and minced chile, and serve.
