Sweet Miso Salmon

New to East Asian cooking? Miso is a great way to get started! This simple glaze has only two ingredients. Here I’ve put it on salmon and baked the fish, but you can put it on almost anything and fry, dip, or simmer.

Mix all of the sticky stuff together with the quinoa!

…and wait for it to absorb.
All done!

“Jen Salad”

Combine the dressing and the veg.
Serve with a grilled protein, or all by itself. Fin!
Veggies all chopped!
Goat cheese, honey, and balsamic in the bowl…
…mix it up for a fantastic dressing!
