Why you’ll love this miso salmon sashimi bowl
Miso paste has a deep taste, and soy and lemon juice give it a great complexity. They’re such a great partner to the richness of the fish. Surely just miso dressing and salmon couldn’t possibly make anything taste that good, right? But of course it does. And the texture, is delightful.
This dressing is quite possibly the best reason to keep a small container of umami-rich miso paste in the fridge. Combined with a few pantry ingredients, it gives the salmon an ultra-rich, savory flavor.
