ASIAN GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Combine the Marinade ingredients in a shallow bowl. Add salmon and turn to coat. Cover and marinate for 30 minutes or up to overnight.
• Heat grill/broiler on high. Place the rack 25 cm / 10" from the heat source.
• Place salmon on baking tray (no oil required). Scrape all the excess glaze from the bowl onto the salmon.
• Grill/broil for 7 to 10 minutes, until the top of the salmon is beautifully caramelised. Be careful not to overcook the salmon!
• Serve salmon sprinkled with sesame seeds, scallions/shallots with rice and steamed Asian greens on the side.

JAPANESE SALMON WITH MIRIN AND SOY SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except the oil in a ziplock bag, remove as much air as possible and marinade overnight (or minimum 3 hours).
• Heat 1/2 tbsp oil in a non stick pan over medium heat.
• Add salmon skin side down, cook for 2 to 3 minutes until crispy. Check the skin to ensure it isn't cooking too quickly - if it is, then turn down the heat and/or remove the pan from the stove briefly to allow the temperature to decrease.
• Drizzle over remaining marinade in the ziplock bag over the flesh side. Flip and cook the flesh side for 2 minutes, or to your liking. I like salmon medium rare so the inside is very moist and just cooked.
• Rest for a couple of minutes, remembering that the salmon will continue to cook while resting, then serve.

• Meanwhile in a large heated wok add sesame oil, beans, peppers, onion and garlic stir fry for 2 minutes.
• Flip salmon and cook till desired.
• To the beans add reserved marinade, soy sauce and cornstarch/water mixture. Stir frying for 2 more minutes then add hoison sauce toss to coat.

• Optional:.
• If serving on a bed of cooked rice or the noodles as I suggested toss them in the pan that the beans were cooked in, to coat the noodles from the sauce that remained in the pan adding a touch of water to the pan if needed.
• Plate then top with beans and salmon.
• Garnish with sesame seeds if desired.
