While browsing for a new way to make fish I came across this recipe for miso-glazed salmon. It was very quick and easy to make and came out super tasty. The glaze caramelizes and is really flavorful without overwhelming the salmon. Here’s a video of the preparation techniques, if you need a bit more confidence in the kitchen.
To make it a meal, I made some gyoza and edamame and Dallas made rice. The only downside of making the miso-glazed salmon was that I had to buy this whole 12 ounce package of miso when the recipe only needed 2 tablespoons. I guess it’s an opportunity to find some more miso recipes.
