From EatingWell: Fall 2004, January/February 1998, EatingWell Serves Two, The Essential EatingWell Cookbook (2004)Versatile miso (fermented soybean paste) keeps for months in the refrigerator and adds instant flavor to soups, sauces, dips, marinades and salad dressings. In general, the lighter the miso, the milder and sweeter its flavor. Light miso is the key to the wonderful flavor of this salmon.
