Miso Curried Cod with Spinach

Are you ready for a flavor-bomb of a meal?  This recipe comes from the NYT and is simply amazing.

After a few trials, I thought I had a solid winner and surprised my daughters with it during one of their visits. Of course, as you can imagine, they were not amused… but I asked them to trust me. They did and a favorite was born!  This recipe became one of their most requested meals. I have made this recipe for myself, for friends, and for guests ever since. And now I want…
