Teriyaki Salmon


My new Japanese inspired diet is going well.

The plan is to eat more fish - much more fish - which I love anyway and here's a tasty treat that I rustled up at the weekend.

Teriyaki Salmon

Ingredients
1 (or more) good thick Scottish salmon steak/s - smoked is good as well as unsmoked
3 or 4 tablespoons of Teriyaki sauce - or good soy sauce with a pinch of sugar added
1 thumb sized piece of fresh ginger
2 cloves of garlic
1 or 2 tablespoons of groundnut or other oil for shallow frying
Pepper to taste
A few drops of seasame oil

Method
Slice the garlic and ginger - and put in a bowl along with the Teriyaki or soy sauce
Leave in the marinade for an hour
Heat up a frying pan - until it is smoking hot
Drain the fish
Add the oil to the pan and sear the salmon - about 2 minutes a side for slightly underdone
If you want the fish cooked right through allow 3 minutes a side
Put the fish on your serving plate to rest for a minute or two
Meanwhile put all the marinade back into the ban and let it bubble up - pour what is now a lovely sauce over your salmon
Sprinkle with black pepper

Serve with some crispy iceberg lettuce, some sliced red onion - and cherry tomatoes.

Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
