I am a new contributor (as of March 2008) but a long-time fan.
A good salmon recipe follows:
- 1-2 lbs of fresh king salmon
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- 1.5" piece of fresh ginger, sliced
- a few cloves of garlic, alter to taste
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup mirin
- 1/2 cup canola oil (olive oil burns too easily)
Put everything except the salmon and basil into a food processor and pulse a few times to blend and mix. Add basil, mix well. Marinate salmon in this mixture for at least 3 hours in the refrigerator.
Barbecue salmon, basting occasionally. Invite friends.
