Miso Salmon Spaghetti

dcwang wang's Note:

I found this on a Japanese website ttp://www.sea.sannet.ne.jp.I thought that it was very special that it was western style pasta with a touch of Japanese in it-miso. A substitute to the diet no-no creamy spaghetti! Thanks to Mianbao who helped me translate the last part. I think next time I will be making it vegetarian!!

Fresh and light, yet satisfying. I couldn't really taste the miso as much as I thought I'd be able to. It didn't say when to add the scallions so I just put them as a garnish.
