Miso Salmon When I go out for Japanese, I love ordering Miso salmon, a popular Japanese dish that combines the rich flavors of miso paste with the delicate taste of salmon. But when I’m craving it at home, I whip up this Miso Salmon which I’ve been making for years! The salmon fillets are marinated with a mixture of miso, mirin, garlic and ginger overnight, before broiling the fish. I serve it with Asian chopped salad but this is also great with hot steamed rice, edamame fried rice, quinoa or even cauliflower fried rice....

Every June, I look forward to peach season in the Texas Hill Country, when the summer stone fruit abounds! There’s nothing like a sweet, juicy peach, still warm from the sun, bought at a roadside stand and eaten before you even get to your car. Aside from enjoying peaches as-is, however, I also like to incorporate them into recipes this time of year, so I thought it would be fun to add them to a puffy, golden, German Pancake!...

Shaved fennel adds a delicate anise sweetness and refreshing bite. A pinch of cayenne in the pumpkin crunch adds an unexpected, but fun and fiery twist....
