A few more salmon recipes
Salmon is one of the best healthy dinner ideas! Here are some more salmon recipes to add to your repertoire: We love eating salmon as part of the Mediterranean diet, and this one is one of our favorite ways to eat it. Brush the glaze on a tender fillet of salmon before and after broiling, and it comes out irresistible salty, savory, and tangy. Every time we make it, we can’t resist taking more bites!
High quality salmon: This recipe tastes best with a high quality of fish. We splurged and used King salmon for this one, and it came out beautifully tender and juicy. It also tastes great with a nice piece of Coho or Atlantic salmon. Miso: Miso is a Japanese fermented soybean paste that’s full of nutrients and its intense savory notes known as umami: the fifth flavor. You can find miso near the Japanese ingredients at your local grocery. There are many different types of miso, and they all taste different. We recommend using white or yellow miso for this miso salmon recipe, which might be labeled as “light miso” at the store. Soy sauce: Substitute tamari or coconut aminos as necessary. Rice vinegar: Rice vinegar adds that signature tangy flair. Sugar: A good sauce is balanced with salty, tangy and sweet. If you prefer, substitute maple syrup or honey if you like. Sriracha hot sauce: Hot sauce adds even more tangy flavor, and a hint of heat.
1 to 1 1/2-inch thick fillets are good for this recipe, which might be labeled “center cut” at the store. Fresh salmon is best. For the very best quality free of fishy flavor, we find it’s best to buy fresh fish from your local seafood counter. Buy wild caught salmon. Fish that is wild caught in your country is usually a sustainable choice. There are also quality options in well-regulated farms; see Seafood Watch Consumer Guide.
Edamame: Try Shelled Edamame or Easy Edamame. Rice or quinoa: Try Seasoned Quinoa, Lemon Rice, green Jade Rice, or Jasmine Rice. Mixed vegetables: Add colorful Sauteed Vegetables. Brussels sprouts: Opt for Spicy Brussels Sprouts, Crispy Brussels Sprouts, or Roasted Brussels Sprouts. Noodles: Add a side of Soba Noodles with sesame marinade, or try Garlic Butter Noodles.
