Miso-Marinated Salmon with Cucumber-Daikon RelishMark Thomas

Serve the salmon with steamed rice tossed with shelled edamame (fresh green soybeans).

Market tip: Choose wild Alaskan salmon, which is abundant and well regulated. Farmed salmon is controversial; salmon farms pollute wild salmon habitats and spread disease to wild salmon stocks.
