Salmon Miso Sauce Recipe. Other Fish Variations

Salmon Miso Sauce gets its luxurious texture  from miso.

The miso in salmon miso sauce makes an instant thick and rich natural sauce, even as it is a snap to make. This salmon is ready in minutes! The Asian flavors work beautifully to make a perfect sauce, thanks to the miso, naturally and without any further steps than the baking of the whole dish.

Don’t hesitate to replace the salmon with other interesting fish you might find on shopping day:

Even trout or tilapia. When you are in a more luxurious mood, substitute bass or scrod for the tilapia.

As you know I have no end of fantastic salmon recipes on my blog. To name a few: Salmon Fennel Tajine, pickled salmon, cold poached salmon, salmon pomegranate sauce. And many more. Keep going!
