Soy Marinated Salmon with quick pickled mung beans

Soy Marinated Salmon with quick pickled mung beans

Salmon is rich yet delicate and very forgiving, which makes it an excellent meal option for novice and experienced cooks alike. Using the Cinder to perfectly cook salmon, then give a crispy char, is a great way to impress friends and family.  Crisp, tangy mung bean sprouts make a perfect partner for the fish. This quick pickling recipe will allow you to mix and match and be creative with your flavors -- feel free to change the spices and herbs around to suit your taste, and to use the pickle on any shredded or thinly cut vegetables you like.
