P.f. Chang-Style Steamed Sockeye Salmon

I clipped this from a magazine. I've never had this from P.F. Chang's but I've made this recipe a few times and it's good (healthy) because it's steamed. Note: I did go off this recipe and made it to my taste, such as when cooking the veggies, I used less oil and a bit of chicken broth to "steam" the veggies and for more flavor I added a bit of chopped garlic to that as well. Also I added to the sauce since it's too bland for my taste, I added more sugar, some chopped garlic, some mirin, and a little ginger (refer to "All purpose stir fry sauce #87748). For best results do not use any Atlantic or atlantic farmed salmon. I have substituted broccoli florets for the asparagus (I forgot to buy it). Serve with brown or white rice.
