Miso Salmon (Sake Misozuke) with Spinach Sauce
"This recipe involves marinating salmon in miso paste, a traditional technique of Japanese cuisine. I love accenting the salmon with this spinach sauce and serving it with a spinach salad, but I have also seen the fish served with plain soy sauce or other accompaniments."
