Japanese Salmon with Orzo

This is the yummiest way I've ever cooked salmon fillet! Will post a pic next time I make it! (note T = tablespoon)

Serves 4
1/2 C soy sauce
1/2 C Mirin
2 T grated ginger
4 T brown sugar
4 salmon fillets
(Marinate in oven proof dish for 10 mins while preparing the rest of the ingredients, salmon skin side up)

1 500gm bag of risone or orzo cooked in salted boiling water

handful of toasted pine nuts (optional)
1 onion finely chopped
1 clove crushed garlic
1 packet frozen spinach (or use fresh if you prefer)

Sautee the onion and garlic in some butter. Stir through the spinach until cooked.
Bake the salmon at 250 degrees for 15 mins or until cooked to your liking (I like mine cooked through so cook for less if you like it rare in the middle).

When salmon is cooked, stir orzo through the spinach and onion mixture and reheat. Plate with the fillet served on a pile of orzo, scatter with pine nuts and tip some of the hot marinade mixture over the top. Enjoy!
