Asian Teriyaki Salmon Recipe

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.
