Salmon Teriyaki...

As the importance of Omega-3 fatty acids receives increased awareness, we need to make sure we add more of it to our daily diet. I am always looking for ways to make oily fish like salmon ~ a great source of omega-3 ~ a bit more exciting and easier to prepare. Here is a great way to give even supermarket salmon fillets a boost.

You will need to marinade the salmon, but you can make marinate the night before and before you go to work pop the salmon into marinate. When you get home, dinner can be on the table in just 15 minutes.

This easy salmon recipe is even impressive enough to serve for your special dinner party. I usually serve it with wild rice and a green leafy vegetable.



Salmon Teriyaki

Ingredients:
6 salmon fillets
2½ cups pineapple juice
1¼ cups soy sauce
½ cup fresh root ginger, grated
2 tablespoons of brown sugar
3 limes, zest and juice

Put all the ingredients except the salmon in a pan and bring to the boil. Allow it to simmer gently for 10 minutes and then set aside to cool.

Once it has cooled down pour half of the sauce over the salmon and leave it to marinade in the fridge for approximately 12 hours. Keep the rest in a plastic container until you are ready to cook the fish.

To prepare:
Lightly oil a large sauté pan big enough to take all the fish and fry skin-side down then turn it over; cooking until it is pretty dark in color. Take it out of the pan and put it in a low oven to keep warm.

Add the rest of the sauce to the sauté pan and reduce it by half until its dark and syrupy. Pour over the salmon and serve.

Serves 6

• You can use this marinade just as successfully with pork chops or pork tenderloins for an equally quick and tasty supper.
