If your flash is a Nikon speedlight (SB600 or higher), you can wirelessly trigger it off camera with the built-in flash. One of the things this allows you to do is set the main flash off to one side and dial the built-in flash down by 1-2 stops. The main flash then becomes your key light and the built-in becomes the fill. You can take some pretty decent portraits this way with very little effort.
