Teriyaki Salmon with Mirin Cucumber Salad
Serves 4

Vinaigrette

1 ½ teaspoons wasabi powder
1 tablespoon mirin (Japanese sweet sake)
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
½ cup Grapeseed oil
Salt and Freshly ground black pepper


Marinade

1 cup soy sauce
Juice and zest of 2 oranges
2 tablespoons brown sugar
4 garlic cloves, peeled and left whole
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger
4 skinless salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each),
preferably center cut
2 large English cucumbers julienned*


To make the vinaigrette, combine the wasabi powder and
mirin in a medium bowl and mix to make a paste. Whisk
in the vinegar and sugar. Whisk in the oil and season
with the salt and pepper. Taste and correct the
seasonings, if necessary.

To make the salmon, combine the soy sauce, orange
juice and zest, brown sugar, garlic and ginger in a
medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat and
simmer slowly until reduced by half or syrupy, about
15 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the sesame
seeds and cool. Transfer to a baking dish, at the
salmon, turn to coat and marinate for 1 hour.


Prepare an outdoor grill or preheat the broiler. If
cooking outdoors, spray the grill with nonstick
cooking spray. Grill the salmon over high heat, or
broil, turning once until the flesh is slightly
charred, about 4 minutes per side. Brush the fish
with the remaining marinade as it cooks. The fish
will be medium-rare to medium.


About 10 minutes before serving, toss the cucumbers
with enough of the vinaigrette to coat them
completely. Correct the seasonings and set aside.
Divide the salmon amount 4 plates. Place a salmon
fillet on top of each portion and serve.

Answer 2

Fish in a parcel - you can use lots of different fish types but it works best with a 'meaty' fish. Make a tinfoil parcel and cook the fish inside - you can add anything - certain types of veg, any herbs, semi cooked potatoes, cooked and then cooled rice etc and cook for about 20 minutes in a moderate oven. Another good one is cod loin with thin slices of lemon, and bay leaves lined up on it bake the same way as above. Very tasty and keeps the fish moist.

Answer 7

For one serving

Buy a sweet red pepper, cut in half clean out the pips.

add teaspoon of virgin olive oil to each, add small amount of sweet chilli sauce. add small amount sun dried tomato pesto or similar (1/2 tsp of each).

Place under grille for 5 minutes.

Buy a small white cod fillet to suit the size of the red pepper you can either remove or cook skin depending on taste but I remove the skin.

Cut into strips the size of the pepper,

Place in dish add tablespoon of olive oil virgin olive oil squeeze half a lemon over fish & oil.

Place under the grille for around 5-6 minutes.

Place the fish on top of sweet red peppers put back under grille for 2-3 minutes.

Place on plate

Add the lemon/oil juice from the fish & sprinkle with black pepper & some chopped chives.

You can serve this with Asparagus or green beans or carrots possibly 2 small new potatoes.

It is delicious but the fish is very filling & extremely tasty & good for you.

Buy quality fish, wrap in foil and steam it. Maybe add some fresh herbs and lemon wedges to the parcel. Either that or buy a good chunky white fish and make a curry with it. Yummy yummy.
