Honeymink's Salmon Terkiyaki

This is a very quick and easy protein packed dinner.

You need salmon fillets and either readymade teriyaki sauce or soy sauce, mirin and sugar.
(To make the teriyaki sauce yourself, pour a few tablespoons of soy sauce in a small bowl, pour in a bit of mirin and stir in some sugar.)
Put the grill on quite high.
Cover the fillets with the sauce.
Put them under the grill and cook on both sides til the teriyaki bubbles and caramelises.
That's it!
Takes about 15 minutes and is great with steamed mange toutes and brown rice.

Dougee's Banana Yumm Cake

4 ounces of margarine
2 ounces of brown sugar
2 eggs (free range)
4 ounces of flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
4 bananas(preferably ones on the way out, brown or black is fine as the flavours are enhanced)
1 pinch of mixed spice or cinnamon (if you want to or even a bit of vanilla extract, or even walnuts if you feel like being really adventurous)

Melt the sugar and margarine together in a pan until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, adding in a bit of flour as you go. (Make sure the sugar and margarine mixture aren't too hot when you wack the eggs in. You don't want poached eggs!)
Add the remaining flour with the baking powder and spices and mash those bananas into the mixture.
Spread the mixture into a lightly greased and lined shallow pan and bake in the oven for approx. 20-30 minutes. Check the middle with a toothpick, as you would check any cake. Cook on gas mark 5, or 190C.
Eat the banana cake and say "Yumm".
