I made this for DH for a late night snack b/c I had a small piece of salmon to use up and he loves Asian food. He said this was a very nice dish, but he would have rather some crushed red pepper or some Asian hot chili sauce to give it some kick and added flavor. Overall a nice recipe that just needs some tweaking. Made for PRMR
