After any big holiday -- like Passover -- where there's been tons of food and extra goodies like chocolate matzo bark and jelly rings, I need to pare down. Pare down me I mean. Me, lover of matzo, who probably ate 3 boxes worth over 8 days.
It's over.
More thoughtful dinners are in order.
Simple food is on the menu.
Also, after all that holiday cooking, meals that are quick and easy to cook.
It's just Ed and me tonight.
So, this salmon dish, along with some veggies ---
Roasted Salmon with Teriyaki Glaze
24-32 ounces salmon
1/4 cup sake
1/4 cup mirin
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives (or scallion greens)
Preheat the oven to 475 degrees. Place the fish in a roasting pan. Place the sake, mirin, soy sauce, vegetable oil and brown sugar in a small saucepan. Stir until the ingredients are blended. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is reduced and slightly thickened. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Pour the liquid over the fish. Sprinkle with chives. Roast for 12-16 minutes, or until cooked to desired doneness.
Makes 4-6 servings
