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.

Now that we're a month away from the month formerly known as June, we can think about what's happened.

SNP - Conspiracy of Silence

Image
So here's the issue - two Glasgow MSPs (Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf) have been asked a reasonable question about their use of public money to employ two SNP councillors who already have full-time, salaried jobs as senior elected members of Glasgow City Council.   But these two public servants (both long-serving ministers) refuse to answer, so what to do next? One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
