  • Grilled Miso-Ginger Salmon

    Salmon is an incredibly versatile fish for grilling. Marinating salmon fillets in a simple uncooked marinade using miso, mirin, ginger, and a few other ingredients results in a wonderful grilled salmon dish with subtle Asian Flavors.

    Braising with beer is one of the easiest entry points into cooking with beer. One of my favorite recipes is beef short ribs braised with Irish stout. It’s pretty simple and takes only about 15 minutes of prep time. Simply sit back and sip some stout while the short ribs braise.
