Doesn't that piece of salmon look incredible?!?! The layers are spectacular! This is what fish is supposed to look like and what it does look like when it is purchased fresh from your local poissonnerie or fishmonger and eaten that day. This morning my roommate Pierre went to the Place Monge marché (farmers market) and bought fresh salmon so that tonight my roommate John could make his wonderful and wonderfully easy salmon dinner. The salmon is marinated in a tropical marinade and served with cous-cous. Yum! This recipe is for 4.
¼ cup soy sauce
½ cup teriyaki sauce (plain, no fancy seeds in it) + a few tbsp for basting
2 tbsp honey
1 cup tropical fruit juice (John used Tropicana “reveil des tropiques” with orange, pineapple, & apple juice)
4 – 8oz (225grams) pieces salmon
1 pkg instant cous-cous (I told you it was easy!)
1 small can petits pois avec carottes (small peas with carrots)
1. in a microwave safe bowl, combine soy sauce, teriyaki sauce and honey.
2. warm in microwave for 15-20 seconds to warm the mixture and melt to honey. stir to combine and add the juice.
3. put salmon in container or zip lock bag and pour in marinade ensure the salmon is coated with the marinade. put in fridge and marinate for 20 minutes to 1 hour max (any longer and the marinade starts cooking the fish).
4. when you are ready to cook, set oven to broil
5. take salmon out of the fridge and marinade and put on a foil lined sheet pan. put it on a shelf about 6 inches away from the heat source. cook for 8 minutes.
6. baste with a 1 tbsp of teriyaki sauce per piece of salmon and cook for 4 more minutes.
7. while the salmon is cooking make the cous-cous according to the directions. Once it has absorbed the water, stir in the peas and carrots and let sit for a few minutes covered to heat through.
8. plate and serve! it is truly succulent. bon appetit!
Mmmm! I am so not a fish eater, but by golly, that looks divine!
