Salmon & Salt (and butter pats)

theKid actually complimented the cooking, so going to share that with you (Other Person, You).

Here … eat this!

Salmon & Salt

Two (or more) fresh or defrosted filets, wild-caught salmon (or farm raised but ewwww)

2 cups – teriyaki sauce

½ C – soy sauce

½ C – minced garlic (mmmm, garlic)

¼ C – dried chives (or fresh if you want to work that hard)

Pinches (several, a few, your choice/taste) – coarse sea salt

Pinch (maybe more, maybe less, your choice/taste) – black pepper

½ C – butter

Steamed rice

Veggies of choice (make it a meal!)

Clean/rinse the fish, set aside in clean dish (‘cuz cooking in dirty dishes is just heathen, even for me)

Mix all ingredients in a med-sized bowl ‘til well (well,) mixed

Pour mixture over fish, refrigerate/marinate for at least two hours,
              longer is better, but cook within 24 hours otherwise WORMS (maybe)

Remove fish w/mix from fridge, allow to set out in room temp for around 30 mins
              (pro-tip: helps with even cooking)

Heat oven to 375°

I like foil in a metal pan cuz I hate to clean so foil a pan for easy clean up
              … or not if you like to work feel free to use glass, Mr/Mz FancyPants

Cut butter into pats (you know what a pat is don’t be difficult) and place strategically in the pan
              / glass dish for the fancypants

Remove fish from marinade dish, place skin-down/flesh-up on top of the butter pats,
put some additional pats on top of the fish
              visualize:  butter pats on bottom and top of fish / a sandwich of butter pats

Cover dish with foil

Bake for 22 minutes, remove from oven, let rest for 10 mins or so

Enjoy (read: eat) with steamed rice and veggies.

You’re welcome.
