Miso-Glazed Scallops

We often keep scallops in the freezer, we can pull them out an hour before and make a great meal. This is an excellent recipe as it is easy and you end up with a very sophisticated dinner. I have never tried it with the soba noodles, instead I always serve the scallops on a bed of brown rice. Several reviewers complain that there wasn't enough sauce and I think this is because the sauce just slides off the noodles, whereas the rice absorbs the sauce and it turns out perfect.

Bombay-Style Curried Salmon

Bill made this a few months ago and I really liked it. I made it again when Gijsbert and Julie came for dinner a couple of weeks ago. Everyone devoured the meal and Julie has since made it twice and passed the recipe on to others. Again, this is a really easy recipe if you have lots of asian ingredients in your cupboard. Tamarind paste can be found at most Asian and middle-eastern food stores.

A word of warning: First off, I made this without adding the chili powder and it was spicy enough for me with just the fresh green chilis. Secondly, the recipe has a little mistake in it, it doesn't mention that you combine the chili and garlic paste with the other paste, at least that's what I assume you're meant to do.
