This is my take on miso-glazed black cod, made famous by Chef Nobu Matsuhisa. In addition to a taste and texture to die for, this is one of the easiest fish recipes of all time. A couple minutes to make the sauce, some brushing, a short wait, and you're broiling. By the way, I don't like to cook both sides — I like the heat to only penetrate from the top down. This makes for a lovely caramelized top and a super juicy interior. Cooking times will vary, but simply broil the fish until the meat flakes easily and the bones pull out with no effort.

Creamy Lemon Dressing
This creamy lemon sauce makes a tangy salad dressing or a great drizzle over grilled fish. Try it over a butter lettuce salad with grape tomatoes and English cucumber.
Apple, Carrot, and Chia Muffins
These moist muffins are a sneaky way to add veggies and fiber into my kid's diet. You can easily substitute other vegetables and fruit too. I've tried zucchini, pear, and banana!
Cream Cheese Deviled Eggs
Cream cheese adds a whole new dimension to these deviled eggs. Top with a few strips of lox-style smoked salmon and chopped fresh chives.
