This weekend I decided to try something different with dinner. With ingredients I already had in the fridge I created a simple marinade that gave amazing flavor to a simple piece of salmon. Putting everything together took almost no time and it tasted amazing!
.................................................................................
Here's what you need:
***Soy Sauce (in my case Gluten Free soy sauce).
***Agave Nectar (for sweetness)
***Mirin (Japanese sweetened sake)
***Salmon steak
...................................................................................
- Season the salmon with salt and pepper.
- Mix the liquid ingredients together to taste and add on to the raw salmon steak.
- Marinade the salmon in "teriyaka" sauce for a minimum of 1 hour.
- Sear salmon on a skillet until cooked through, add remainder of sauce mix on top of the salmon while cooking. If desired, you can add sauce after the fish is plated.
I paired the salmon with a traditional Haitian dish called djon djon rice and some fried plantains. Next time I'll keep with the Asian theme and make some stir fried bok choy as a side. What I like about this marinade is that it makes the perfect base to build on. I can add chili oil to make it a bit more spicy. I can also experiment with ginger, cilantro or any other flavors I fancy.
