Salmon Teriyaki with Pineapple Salsa

This recipe serves:  2 4 6 8

2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons mirin (rice wine)
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
1/4 cup beer
2 skinless, boneless salmon fillets, 4 to 6 ounces each
1/3 cup diced, fresh pineapple
2 teaspoons diced red onion
1/4 cup diced red pepper
1/4 jalapeño chili peppers, seeded and diced
1 teaspoon chopped cilantro
2 teaspoons orange juice
1. For the teriyaki marinade, combine the soy sauce, mirin, vinegar, sugar, ginger and beer in a small saucepan. Cook over high heat until the mixture reduces by half. Let cool.

2. Marinate the salmon in the teriyaki marinade, cover and refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

3. For the salsa, combine all of the ingredients in a small mixing bowl. (This can be done in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.)

4. Preheat the grill or broiler.

5. Grill or broil the salmon on each side until it is cooked through, about 4 to 6 minutes per side, depending on thickness.

Serve a few spoonfuls of salsa on top of each salmon fliet with rice on the side.
