Recipe of the Week: Miso Glazed Salmon

There are a lot of health benefits behind this dish: miso is a fermented soy paste that is great for helping balance your microbiom.  And salmon is an excellent source of protein, omega 3 fatty acids, and vitamin B.  I garnish this with shiso, an Asian herb from the mint family.  It's a fabulous and easy meal, but if you don't want to make it, we'll take care of that for you - it's on our menu this week!

I love to serve this with white rice and steamed vegetables.  It pairs particularly well with sauvignon blanc, or a pale ale.

Miso Glazed Salmon Filet

Ingredients:
2 Salmon Filet (we prefer coho salmon, but you can use any kind)
1/4cup  Miso Paste (We use white, but you can use red... it's just more intense)
2 Tbsp  Maple Syrup
2 Tbsp Mirin
Scallions or Shiso to garnish (optional)

Method:
Whisk together the miso, maple syrup and mirin and cover the filets with the marinade.  Refrigerate overnight, or atleast a couple hours.  When you are ready to eat preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  Place the fish in an oven safe dish and cover with aluminum foil.  Cook for approximately 6 minutes.  Remove the foil and cook until the salmon is firm to the touch (approximately another 6 minutes).  Garnish and serve.
