大人数向きで野菜とタンパク質をバランスよく取れるパーティ料理、というのはなかなかないものですが、これはあちこちで何度も作って好評な一品です。このちゃんちゃん焼き、本場北海道に倣うならば「鮭」を丸々一匹使い、バーベキュー用の大きな鉄板かホットプレートで作って大人数に振る舞うものですが、今回は大人６人と子供５名相手にアラスカ産のキングサーモンを使い、お呼ばれした先のお家にあった巨大なフライパンを使い、オーブンで調理しました。
There are few "scalable" party dishes that can provide a good balance of protein and vegetables, but this salmon dish is one of them that I've made on many occasions to positive reception. Called chan-chan-yaki, ("yaki" means "to grill/roast" in Japanese, but the etymology of this dish is otherwise unclear) it's a specialty of the Hokkaido region of Japan, typically cooked by fishermen using local salmon (chum salmon, Oncorhynchus keta) and locally available vegetables. The traditional method of cooking calls for an outdoor setting, cooking a whole salmon and mounds of vegetables on a large steel plate placed over an open fire to feed many, but this was made using a large skillet and oven at a friend's house for 6 adults and 5 small children - and replacing chum salmon with Alaskan King Salmon.
作り方は至って単純。魚と野菜、タレさえ用意すればあとは焼くだけ、です。サーモンは皮付きの大きな切り身（今回は片身の1/2程度を使用）を用意し、十分に塩コショウしておきます。キャベツ、ピーマン、シメジ、タマネギ、青ネギは食べやすい大きさにざっくりと切ります。タレは白味噌、日本酒、みりん、醤油、七味唐辛子、刻みニンニク、塩コショウを良く混ぜるだけ（塩辛く、あるいは甘くなりすぎないようにさえ注意すれば失敗はしません）です。
This is another "simple as it gets"dish - once you have the fish, vegetables, and the sauce ready, hardly any technique is involved. Purchased 1/2 of a whole filet of salmon (roughly 1/4 of the fish) with the skin on, ad seasoned well with salt and pepper. For the vegetables, we used cabbage, onions, green bell peppers, shimeji mushrooms, and green onions (other possibilities such as potatoes and sweet corn were considered, FYI) - all roughly (and unevenly, I confess) chopped. The sauce was a mix of white miso, sake, mirin, soy sauce, red pepper powder, chopped garlic, salt, and black pepper - as long as the sauce doesn't get too salty or sweet, any ratio is possible - mixed well to a smooth, liquid consistency.
熱したフライパンにサラダオイルを敷き、野菜をキャベツ、ピーマン、タマネギ、青ネギの順番で入れ、油を絡める程度に炒めたら野菜をのけてフライパンの中央に隙間を作り（いったん野菜を別の器に出しました）、サーモンを皮を下にして置いき、その上に野菜をかぶせ、タレをかけまわしたらあとはアルミホイルで全体を多い、350F（177℃）に熱しておいたオーブンに入れ、30分ほど蒸し焼きにします。サーモンに火が通ったらオーブンから出し、サーモンを崩しながら野菜とタレと良く混ぜ合わせて完成。鍋のままサーブし、各自好きなだけとって酒の肴にするも良し、ご飯のおかずにするも良し、の一品です。
The vegetables were cooked first in the skillet (well heated and with a dash of canola oil) - very briefly to coat with the oil but no need to cook through as the whole dish will be finished in the oven - then set aside to create an open space in the middle of the skillet (we temporarily transferred about 3/4 of the vegetables to a separate platter). The salmon was placed in that opening, skin down, then covered with the vegetables followed by the sauce. The whole skillet was then covered with cooking foil, and placed in an oven heated to 350F to cook for 30 minutes or so until the fish is cooked through. Once done, remove from the heat, break up the salmon and mix roughly with the vegetables (which should be nice and soft), and serve family style in the skillet. Can be enjoyed with some alcoholic beverages, or with some steamed white rice.
