Strach, did you go to Cafe Midi in American Rag?
I for one would like to see more simple recipes here.

here is an easy, delicious salmon recipe. i made it for strach as a farewell dinner. i think you will enjoy it and find it easy to execute:
(makes 4 servings)
1/2 cup sake
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup mirin
1 tablespoon light miso
1 head garlic, halved
1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled, halved, and smashed
4 sprigs fresh cilantro
4 (6 to 8-ounce) salmon fillets, skin on
3 tablespoons peanut oil
Cilantro leaves, for garnish
Lime wedges, for garnish
In a bowl large enough to accommodate the salmon, mix the sake, soy sauce, mirin, and miso until the miso has dissolved. Add the garlic, ginger, cilantro, and salmon fillets. Cover and marinate for at least 20 minutes and up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Season the salmon with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat the oil in an ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the salmon skin side down. Put the pan into the oven and roast until the salmon is cooked medium-rare, about 12 to 15 minutes. Serve garnished with cilantro leaves and lime wedges.
the best part of the recipe is that skin comes out nice and crisp while the meat is moist, which is not really possible to pull off by baking or most other methods. for people who like salmon skin, this is very tasty, and for people who don't, it's easy to pull meat from skin.
this is a great recipe. i can honestly say it was one of the best dinners i've ever had, and certainly the best ever cooked in my honor. also, great company (john and mike)!
