Marinated Maple Miso Dijon Salmon
This Maple Miso Dijon Salmon is simply sensational!
You are probably familiar with using a honey dijon in a marinade but instead of using honey here we are using maple syrup. It has a unique flavor all its own and then Kevin adds the Japanese inspired miso. Miso is a fermented soybean paste. This combination adds another layer of goodness to this already delicious recipe.
This marinade will also be great on halibut, chicken, asparagus, green beans or other veggies of your choice. This is a quick and easy dish. It only takes 5 minutes to mix your marinade, pop it in the frig over night and bake it for 10 minutes the following evening. If you prefer, you can also marinate your salmon in the morning of the day that you will be serving it.
I would serve this on a bed of sauteed spinach or with a green salad. Or as Kevin does, enjoy this amazing salmon over roasted beets and sauteed beet greens.
