Honey Miso Salmon

I know I said ceviche would be on my next blog, but I changed my mind! Reasons to eat salmon -- different source of protein besides chicken or beef, heart-healthy, and great for the skin! Our bodies need omega-3 fatty acids, and we can't generate that naturally so why not eat it for a delicious meal?

Ingredients-  *this is for FOUR 5-6 oz salmon filets* (so just cut everything in half if you have 1 or 2 filets)
4 Salmon filets
2 Tblsp Miso Paste (you can get this at store Jung Oriental Market on 33rd & O)
2 Tblsp Honey or Agave Nectar
2 Garlic cloves minced
1/4 cup water
1/2 tsp extra virgin olive oil or any oil you have at home

Directions-
As for the salmon I buy it at Hy-vee where it's cut and cleaned so I don't have to hassel with it, but for safety I would do another rinse.

In a sauce pan on low-med heat add 1/2 tsp extra virgin olive oil let that heat up, add your minced garlic mix until lightly brown, and add 2 tblsp of miso paste and whisk till it breaks down, and add 2 tblsp of honey/agave nectar and lastly add 1/4 cup of water and whisk. (The consistency isn't thick but it's a little watery) let that sit for about 5 minutes before marinating your salmon. Once that cools down pour it on your salmon as a marinate you can let it sit for an hour if you have time or add a pinch of ground black pepper, and throw it right in the oven at 325 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Keep an eye on it if you like it cooked medium or well-done.

I served it with a nice side salad (your basic pico de gallo, cucumbers, tomatoes with mixed greens I didn't use any dressing because the pico is full of flavor itself)

Live, Love, Laugh & EAT!
