- You know what makes me really happy?
Delicious seafood recipes.
The kind that you feel like you're eating at a restaurant,
but at home, and you pat yourself and go, I made that.
And that's exactly what we're going to make today.
This maple miso salmon recipe.
Quick, delicious, let's get started.
Check out this salmon.
I got an entire piece of salmon,
which I already cut two servings out
for another garlic butter salmon recipe
also on this channel, I'll link below,
but, the rest of it, we are going to use some today
and the rest I want to freeze for later.
I got this in the mail, I'm not even kidding,
Fulton Fish Market, delivered right to my door,
packed so well with ice and everything else.
I'm just going to cut two individual portions like that.
And I know that a lot of my community members
have been asking me for more seafood recipes because,
A, we're not going out to eat as much,
and B, resources of where to buy a high quality proteins,
including seafood,
because we're not going to the store as much,
and there's something about letting someone else
pick out your seafood that's kind of like, ugh.
So I found this great resource.
I'll link it right below this video.
This is not sponsored.
I just happen to really like convenient things.
So, this one piece of salmon, I mean, it's beautiful,
like this is what you want.
You want fresh seafood that doesn't smell fishy.
I know it's kind of an oxymoron,
but that's exactly what you want,
beautiful coloring like that.
So we're going to cut two pieces,
although, the recipe, with all the details and ingredients
are going to be below the video,
does call for four servings,
but, I mean, I'm not going to eat all four today.
So, two is it.
I'm going to place this straight into my sheet pan like that,
two pieces.
Now, if you're kind of scared of ordering seafood online
because you don't know what to do
with a large piece of fish like this,
super simple, when you first get it,
if you just kinda figure out
how many portions you're going to need for that recipe,
and then you can individually slice your pieces
and wrap them in plastic wrap, really tightly,
place them in a freezer bag
and then freeze it for another meal.
But it does pay off to get high-quality ingredients
delivered right to your door,
and making sure that nothing goes to waste.
So that's exactly what I'm going to do right now.
Now, of course, I don't just have salmon,
I also ordered some shrimp, which, ooh,
I have this recipe, I'll link below,
that I just filmed today to
because I love sharing seafood and easy family recipes
with you that you can make
because that's how I often show in my meal plans
how new recipes are made by adding a video,
so you're not as intimidated to try something new.
There is free delivery on all the seafood over $99.
So I feel like if I stock up my freezer,
it kinda pays off.
So that's always a great idea.
I'm gonna create a miso maple glaze with maple syrup,
right in this bowl.
And then I have white miso paste.
You can find this in the refrigerated section
at the grocery store.
You can make miso soup, use it with rice,
but also makes amazing glazes.
So that goes in the bowl too.
And then I also have some sesame oil.
I'm not going to use all of it, just about half
that's called for in the recipe.
I love toasted sesame oil,
like when it cooks,
it gives recipes a really delicious flavor.
And we are just going to mash this up.
So this is our glaze and I'm going to grab a spoon,
place it right over my salmon.
And then with my spoon,
I'm going to spread it right over the top.
To make this meal ultra fast and convenient,
we're also going to roast some veggies with it.
So I chopped up some cabbage, red cabbage,
but I mean, honestly, napa cabbage
or your favorite vegetable
as long as it's chopped really fine and small
because the salmon is only going to cook for about 15 minutes.
So you want to make sure that your veggies
are cooked through obviously.
So if you have a really chunky piece like this,
just separate it right onto it.
I love roasted purple cabbage.
It becomes really sweet and delicious.
If you've never tried it, you definitely should.
I pre-chopped extra to make spring rolls.
I love purple cabbage spring rolls,
they're really pretty.
So I chop once, prep for later, just,
my sort of tips that I always include in our meal plans
because who wants to spend all night cooking,
plus when everyone's hungry,
like that's the last thing you want to do.
The rest of the sesame oil
I'm going to just drizzle right over the cabbage.
And if you're like, how do you come up with these things?
Like, how do you know when to chop what
and how to save time?
Well, guys, I do this for a living honestly,
I create meal plans since 2012.
So I've been thinking about how to cook ahead
and save time because with three kids at six o'clock,
like no one wants to be whipping up like new meals.
So I will take all the shortcuts I can take,
which I always include them in my weekly meal plans.
And if you're just new here
and have no clue what I'm talking about,
make sure to check the link right below this video.
I'll link you a free sample
you can print it out and go from there.
So with clean hands,
you're just going to toss that purple cabbage
with that sesame oil.
So all of it gets coated and it tastes delicious,
and we are gonna place this guy in the oven.
While the salmon is cooking,
I also have some rice cooking in the rice cooker,
so that's also going,
and I have a video on this channel
on how to perfect rice cooker rice.
So make sure you check that if out
if you have trouble figuring out what the little lines
in your rice cooker mean.
But I pre-chopped some cucumber
for mediterranean salad bowls that I have also this week,
but to make this ultra epic,
I'm going to make some English cucumber
with some white rice vinegar as well.
So I can use some of that crunch
with my cooked salmon in the bowl.
So good.
So I want to leave this
absorbing the flavors.
Set it aside.
Oh my gosh, it smells so good,
that toasted sesame oil, so super, super.
So I'm just going to serve this salmon and roasted cabbage
with some rice I made in the rice cooker,
and we're gonig to serve up our salmon.
Awesome, like check out the coloring, it's perfectly cooked,
pink, so, so good.
So we have our roasted cabbage.
And I am such a texture person.
I love crunchy with everything else.
So I'm just going to top some of this cucumber,
there you have it guys, check it out.
Perfectly cooked, flaky, mm.
That miso and the maple syrup, really, really good.
Make sure to grab the recipe right below this video
