Hello you Beauties.
It's a wonderful Tuesday, filled with motivation to keep all my New Year promises.

With this in mind I wanted to share one of my favorite recipes which is quick to make and tasty to boot!!
So I hope you enjoy and try it I promise your body will thank you wholeheartedly.
Go fish! For dinner!!
So what is Miso...
If your only experience with miso is the golden soup at a sushi bar, prepare to be amazed. If you love savory, umami flavors, there is much more you can do with miso – like this miso butter sauce. Try it with fish or seared scallops. Here, I’ve paired it with fresh halibut. Other firm white fish works as well.
A centuries-old, traditional Japanese seasoning, miso is double fermented from whole soybeans into a paste. You can find it in the refrigerated dairy section of many markets and online. Look for an organic brand and compare sodium levels. If you eat gluten-free, be sure to read the label. Some miso is fermented with grain.
The best brand I have found is South River Miso which I buy off their website. While this is not as convenient as buying it at the store, and shipping these days is not cheap, their miso is totally worth it. I could eat it straight out of the jar.
As miso lasts practically forever refrigerated, you can order several jars at once in different flavors and experiment in the kitchen. Read more on the South River website. For this recipe I use their sweet white miso.
Health Benefits of Miso....
According to South River Miso, miso offers a nutritious balance of natural carbohydrates, essential oils, minerals, vitamins, and protein of the highest quality, containing all of the essential amino acids. South River is hand-made, wood-fired and unpasteurized. It is a living fermented food containing natural digestive enzymes and other probiotic microorganisms which aid in digestion.
According to Japanese mythology, miso was a gift to mankind from the gods to assure lasting health, longevity, and happiness. All I know I am sure happy eating miso!
An Easy Dinner.....
Season fresh halibut filets (or other white fish) with black pepper and granulated garlic. You won’t need salt as miso is salty. Sear quickly in a hot, non-stick pan with a little coconut oil until a golden crust is achieved. Turn fish over and spread with half of the sweet white miso and butter combination. You can use coconut butter or dairy butter. Actually, a combination of the two is nice.
Splash in a bit of dry sake, fish broth or vegetable broth. Quickly cover pan with a lid and turn heat to low. The miso-butter melts over the top as the fish quickly finishes cooking, another minute or two. Cooking times will depend on the thickness of your fish filets. Serve over black Forbidden rice with a side of either fresh roast asparagus or steamed snap or snow peas.
With the little miso butter that is left, remove fish to your plate and whisk with the pan juices to create a sauce, or toss with your hot rice.
