Miso adds an interesting element of flavor to this quick and easy salmon dish from The Natural Pregnancy Cookbook
Disclosure: I was given a copy of this book but not required to post about it or write a positive review. All opinions are my own (and I love this book!)
I have a thing for cookbooks, especially ones that have simple, high quality recipes from an author I trust. My friend Sonali, The Foodie Physician {Sonali is a physician as well as a blogger/recipe developer extraordinaire}, has a new cookbook out that is fabulous — The Natural Pregnancy Cookbook!
Not only does it have great recipes, it is chock full of helpful information on having a healthy pregnancy.
There is so much information regarding pregnancy out there that it can be overwhelming, but the Natural Pregnancy Cookbook breaks down the information into digestible facts.
The first 60 pages include a wealth of information regarding a healthy pregnancy. There are tips on what to eat, how much, planning meals, managing morning sickness and cravings, food safety and more! It’s informative yet not overwhelming.
You can certainly read it in a day or two and use it as a reference throughout your pregnancy.
This book is a great guidebook that you’ll want to keep on the kitchen counter even after your bundle of joy arrives.

Seeing as I am not pregnant, I am more interested in the recipe section of the book and it certainly does not disappoint!
There are over 125 recipes in here and they cover everything you’d ever want to eat. Most recipes are heavy on the veggies which I love, and even better: they’re simple.
I was drooling as I flipped through the cookbook, but the Quick and Easy Miso-Glazed Salmon immediately caught my eye.
Quick and Easy? Seafood? Four ingredients? Sign me up!
I’ve never cooked with miso, but it gave the salmon an interesting flavor that I really enjoyed.
I served it with some brown rice and cooked spinach because I was going for quick and easy. No fancy side dishes; the salmon steals the show.
But next time, I will pair with Miso Roasted Brussels Sprouts from the cookbook 🙂
I made two little change in my version: adding a little extra soy sauce and baking the fish instead of broiling. My glaze was burning, so I just turned down the oven. Pretty sure that’s a user error because my oven is ancient and extremely unreliable.
Other than that, this salmon is quick, easy, incredibly flavorful, and highly nutritious to boot! Props to Sonali for the fabulous cookbook!

Thanks so much for the wonderful review, Meme! I’m so happy that you liked the book and feel that it would be a good resource for expectant moms. The salmon looks great and I’m glad that you liked the miso- I use it in a lot of dishes to add flavor. You do have to keep an eye on the glaze when it’s under the broiler and if it starts to get too charred, I would recommend moving it to a lower shelf in the oven.
I am in LOVE with the book! You are a rockstar, Sonali. Thanks for including me in your group that got to review it 🙂 I can’t wait to try more dishes — I’ve got my eye on those brussels! (and I’ll remember to keep it on the lower oven rack for the next batch!)
i absolutely enjoyed Sonali’s book too..so resourceful..i have been meaning to try cheesy cauliflower stick, soon i will have to. this salmon recipe looks delicious.
Isn’t it amazing?! I have so many recipes on my to-make list from the book!
