31 Jul 10 (Sat) - Poached Salmon Steak in White Wine & Pan-fried Salmon Steak with Homemade Teriyaki Sauce

Was given a few pieces of frozen salmon steaks by BIL and so thought of ways to prepare them. Found two recipes on the Internet and tested them out. The first one was Poached Salmon Steak in White Wine from Easy French Food and the second one was Pan-fried Salmon Steak with Homemade Teriyaki Sauce from World Foodie Guide. Made some modifications to them and ended up with creative fusion food. There was a lot of teriyaki sauce left and the recipe said that it could be kept for up to four weeks. So put them in a bottle and kept in the fridge for future use.
