This was really good and so easy to make. It was the first time I'd ever made or eaten steamed fish, so I had my doubts that it would be tasty or that the husband would like it. He said I should make this again, so I'm happy, since he's picky about salmon and I'm always looking for new ways to make it, so he doesn't get bored with the same recipes all the time. Thanks.

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
