Looking through the refrigerator to see what sorts of odds and ends I had to make with salmon, I found some bok choy and enoki mushrooms. We'd gotten the enoki mushrooms on sale, and I usually use them in miso soup, so I thought about making some miso salmon. Ginger, garlic, and sesame are some other staples I thought would go well. I also added a bit of soy sauce and mirin. Although if you decide to use red miso, I'd recommend decreasing or even eliminating the soy sauce. The stronger flavor of the red miso stands up well to the salmon on its own. Reading this far, you might think I forgot about the enoki mushrooms and bok choy. And you're right - I didn't use those two materials to make the salmon. Instead, I served the miso salmon on a bed of bok choy stir fried with shiitake and enoki mushrooms.

What's your favorite way to serve salmon?

    1. Agreed! Miso does tend to sit around a while over here too. Maybe I need to make some of this salmon. :)
