Pan Grilled Salmon Steak With Mango Salad
 Piggy Josh came back last Friday and I was so happy to cook something he likes . He has not been back since the sister Jo flew off to Sheffield . He loves cod and salmon. But cod is so super expensive here , we do not have much opportunity to eat them except on special occasion :( it is about RM90 approx USD30 per kilo ) So I bought salmon instead ( about RM49 approx USD15 per kilo ) . He likes it pan grilled till the outer layer is crispy. Instead of using italian herbs or fresh herbs, I used balsamic vinegar and sea salt. Simple yet delicious. I love the taste of balsamic vinegar and I have been using it quite often lately in my cooking. Balsamic vinegar is a condiment originating from Italy . You will be surprised that it blends well with meat, fish and veggies though it is basically used for salad dressing. I am adventurous when it comes to cooking. I know no boundaries where cooking and baking is concerned :p  I read up that there are 2 types of balsamic vinegar...the traditional one which is very super expenisve with thick consistency - made from reduction of white grapes to 30 % then fermented for a period of time at least 12 years . The more longer it is fermented the better it is :) The modena ones are made from wine vinegar with the addition of coloring, caramel and sometimes thickener like cornflour or guar gum and produce commercially . Of course if we can afford , it is better to purchase a traditional one. Curtis Stone uses a lot of balsamic vinegar in his cooking too and he is truly an inspiration to me. Truly I am much inspired by his cooking :) He is handsome , hot and great at cooking ! One word he is awesome !!! Daddy asked " why Curtis Stone ? what is so good about him except he is hot and sexy." haha...so I asked him back this " all this while you enjoyed the food I cooked ? so that is the answer ! " LOL ! Silly Daddy...never look at the appearance of a person and thinks he is famous just because of his looks....he is a genius when it comes to cooking and baking. I am already sold by his talents :)  a delicious salmon steak with balsamic vinegar  see how awesome this piece of salmon looks ....mouthwatering is the word :p  a well done one....the fragrance of balsamic vinegar on the salmon is intoxicating....really delicious !  I whipped up this mango salad in just a few seconds... simple , tasty and refreshing.
