Salmon with Soy-Honey and Wasabi Sauces


from http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Salmon-with-Soy-Honey-and-Wasabi-Sauces-105026

Marinade
1/2 cup mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup rice vinegar (not seasoned)
1 tablespoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger
4 (6-ounce) pieces salmon fillet

Sauces
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons wasabi powder
1 tablespoon water


Marinate salmon: Stir together mirin, soy sauce, vinegar, and ginger. Put fish and sauce in a ziplock bag and marinate at room temperature >10 minutes. Preheat broiler.

Make sauces: Boil soy sauce, honey, and lime juice in a small saucepan, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 4 minutes. Stir together wasabi powder and water in a small bowl.

Broil fish, skin sides down, on 5 to 7 inches from heat until fish is just cooked through, about 6 minutes.

Serve salmon drizzled with sauces with lime wedges.

Variation:  When making soy-honey sauce, dice up a jalapeno (remove seeds depending on how spicy you want it) and pan sear with a little oil before adding honey.
