Who wants to slave over a hot stove on a summer night? Put down the phone and stop yourself from taking the easy way out and ordering take-out.

INGREDIENTS:

1 bag of frozen shelled Edamame

½ cup seasoned rice vinegar

2 T. canola oil

1 T. sugar

Salt and Pepper to Taste

8 ounce bag of radishes (sliced)

3-4 medium sized carrots (sliced)

½ c sliced almond (toast in a small skillet)

1 cup of cilantro (chopped)

Cook Edamame according to directions on bag. Rinse with cool water. Put in a bowl with radishes, carrots, and your toasted almonds. Whisk together vinegar, oil, sugar, and S+P. Pour over vegetables and stir till well combined. Stir in cilantro and place in the fridge till cool. Tastes even better the next day.

The Salmon was super easy. Miso Salmon tastes like candied fish. I got about a pound of Salmon at the local fish market and Red Miso Paste (available at most health food stores).

Rinse the fish with cool water, S+P the fillet and then spread in a thin layer the miso on fish. Bake skin side down in the oven for about 10-15 minutes. Finish off Broiling the Salmon for 2 minutes longer.
