Chinese Five Spice Marinated Salmon

Submitted by Galley Wench

"I've developed this recipe to be used with my bamboo steamer. Use your favorite oriental sauce or try my favorite bottled sauce, Iron Chef's Orange- Ginger Sauce. Or try the sauce used in Recipe #376279 Since my steamer has two baskets, I cook the fish in the bottom basket, and veggies in the top. Serve over rice; makes for a great one pot dinner! Time indicated does not include marinading time! NOTE: Cooking Sherry or Gin can be substituted for the rice wine."

4. Steamed Salmon:

5. Remove salmon from marinade and place in a casserole dish that will fit inside your bamboo steamer. (I use a disposible aluminum cake pan that has been slightly modified to allow steam to filter around the sides.).
6. Generously brush salmon with your favorite oriental sauce; sprinkle grated ginger on top.
7. Cover with bamboo lid and place over boiling water to steam.
8. Steam for 10-12 minutes; or until fish flakes with a fork.
9. Serve over rice with lemon/lime wedge.

I used lime juice and didn't use hot pepper sauce because of my son. It was in the marinade at least 1 hour. I cooked it in the oven at 350 F. Delicious. Thanks Diana :) Made for Newest Zaar tag
