Miso Soup With Asparagus And Broiled Salmon

Miso, or bean paste, is a culinary mainstay in Japan. It comes in an assortment of colors and flavors, and it is a great source of protein.

Ingredients
4 3-ounce salmon fillets, skinned
2 tablespoons miso paste
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger
2 tablespoons shao-hsing cooking wine or dry sherry (optional)
3 cups vegetable broth
2 cups 1/4" slices bok choy (halve wide stems lengthwise and slice crosswise) add to shopping list
1 cup sugar snap peas,
1 cup 1"-pieces asparagus
2 carrots, cut into matchsticks
1/2 cup diagonally sliced scallions

Directions
1. Place the salmon in a pie plate. Mix 1 tablespoon of the miso paste and the soy sauce in a cup and spread over the top of the salmon. Set aside.
2. Preheat the broiler. Line a broiler pan with foil. Coat the broiler-pan rack with cooking spray.
3. Place the oil, garlic, and ginger in a heavy large saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes, or until fragrant.
4. Add the shao-hsing or sherry (if using) and vegetable broth, increase the heat, cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the bok choy, peas, asparagus, and carrots. Cover and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, or until crisp-tender. Add the scallions and remove from the heat. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon miso and cover to keep warm.
5. After adding the vegetables to the broth, begin to cook the salmon. Broil the salmon 5" from the heat source for 8 to 10 minutes, or until browned and just opaque in the thickest part.
6. Transfer the salmon to soup bowls, ladle the soup on top, and serve immediately.

Recipe Notes: Shao-hsing cooking wine is found in any Asian grocery and many large supermarkets. It's also inexpensive.
