Ok fella's, get ready to impress because this is how its done.

What you need:

• 2 salmon fillets
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup water              
                                                 

What to do:

1. Combine all the ingredients (except the fish) in a medium sized pan on low heat.
2. Stir the ingredients until the sugar dissolves and everything melts into a sauce.
3. Let it cool, then mix the salmon and the dissolved sauce in a bag and leave it in the fridge for 2 hours.
4. Take the fish out and wrap it with tin foil.
5. Pre-heat the oven to pre-boil 
6. Once hot, place the foiled salmon on the centre shelf and leave it in the oven for approximately 8 minutes.
7. After 8 minutes, take it from the oven (Careful it's hot), check it and make sure its cooked in the middle. Use the forks to separate the flakes. 

Best to serve with:

1. Seasoned broccoli with garden vegetables and a whole grain brown rice (Uncle Ben's brown rice is the best).
2. A dry white wine
3. Place about half a cup of cooked rice in the centre of the plate, leaning the cooked salmon against it. Finish by dotting the cooked vegetables around the plate, topping with any left over cooking juices.
