While we are on the subject of things Superman and I cooked when we had just moved out of home, here is another Nigella dish that we cooked when we had important company (read parents) and would splash out and buy salmon. It is from Nigella Express, and can also be found online here:
Mirin Glazed Salmon
serves 4 as a main
- 60 mL mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
- 50g light brown sugar
- 60 mL soy sauce
- 4 x 125g pieces salmon, cut from the thick part of the fillet so that they are narrow but tall rather than wide and flat
- 2 x 15ml tbs rice vinegar
- 1-2 spring onions, halved and shredded into fine strips
Method
- Mix the mirin, brown sugar and soy sauce in a shallow dish; marinate the salmon in mixture for 3 minutes on the first side and 2 minutes on the second. Meanwhile heat a large non-stick frying pan.
- Cook the salmon in the hot, dry pan for 2 minutes and then turn the salmon over, add the marinade and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Remove the salmon, add the rice vinegar to the hot pan, and warm through.
- Pour the dark, sweet, salty glaze over the salmon and top with the spring onion strips.
- Serve with rice.
We often served this with stir fried bean sprouts and bok choy with soy sauce and rice vinegar - I'm sure you can be more creative than the novice cooks that we were!
A beautiful dish! Just like the chef!
