Salmon leftovers... transformed!

I didn't want a repeat of our miso salmon/spinach salad dinner from the night before, so I gave the leftovers the good ol' crab cake treatment and made salmon cake.  

Leftover Veggie Toss

Here's what went into the frying pan for today's easy Saturday saute.  This was a delicious complement to my slice of wheat toast and fried egg.

Salmon Can Be Simple

The sauces I use will vary, but the cooking is the same!  I like to spread butter or oil on the bottom of a glass baking dish, add salmon fillets skin-side-down, drizzle them with sauce, and bake them in the oven at 350 degrees (Fahrenheit), about 10 minutes per inch of thickness, but keep an eye on them.  I know my salmon is done when it flakes easily and resists slightly when I gently press on the flesh.

Miso Soup

The original recipe was a gift from a coworker and inspired my first experiments with miso paste!  I'd had no idea there were so many kinds of miso.  It is now my goal to taste them all.

The Easiest Sauce You'll Ever Make

I personally can't handle much heat, but my taste buds love the chili flavor of sriracha sauce.  I'm dreaming about next drizzling this sriracha/butter combo over red snapper or steak.
