Miso King Head Broth
Once a salmon has been fully filleted and scraped clean of meat, the bones, fins, and head still hold potential for exquisite, calcium-rich flavor. This recipe is flexible and can be easily adapted to include your favorite herbs. Once the stock is fully simmered to your desired taste, it can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks and in the freezer for up to 8 months, letting you enjoy a nutritious taste of spring all year long.
