What I love about this miso glazed salmon recipe
You guys are going to love this recipe. Have you ever used miso paste before? If you haven’t tried it, you are totally missing out. I’m not even kidding. It’s like a million ingredients all rolled into one, which makes it the perfect choice for quick and easy meals.
I bought my first package of miso paste last year. It came in a big plastic bag in my grocery’s freezer section (actually, it was the freezer within the international section). It seemed so expensive when I was buying it. I think I spent eight dollars on it. Yes, eight dollars for one ingredient. But, hear me out. I still have it.
