Edamame and Salmon Stir Fry

Print Friendly

This delicious stir fry can be prepped, cooked, and ready in 30 minutes or less. Miso gives any dish, sauce, or soup an incredible depth of flavor. If you’re not familiar with it, miso is a fermented soybean paste. It’s available in different colors; in general, the lighter the color, the more mild the flavor. Serve this stir fry over brown rice or brown rice noodles.
