CHINESE FIVE SPICE MARINATED SALMON
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.

- Combine the marinade ingredients in a shallow nonmetalic baking dish or ziplock bag,.
- Add the salmon strips and turn gently to coat.
- Refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes or up to 6 hours, turning often.
- Steamed Salmon:.
- 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.).

- Steam for 10-12 minutes; or until fish flakes with a fork.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat fillets with olive oil and place skin-side down in large baking dish. Sprinkle fillets with five-spice powder, sugar, lime peel, lime juice, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper.
- Bake, uncovered, 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Meanwhile, heat sesame oil in large nonstick skillet. Add mushrooms and ginger; cook and stir until mushrooms are soft. Stir in bok choy and cook until heated through. Serve salmon over mushroom-bok choy mixture.
Tips:
- Choose the right salmon: For the best results, use a fresh, skin-on salmon fillet. If you don't have a skin-on fillet, you can also use a skinless fillet, but the skin will help to keep the salmon moist during cooking.
- Make sure the salmon is properly marinated: The marinade is what gives the salmon its flavor, so it's important to make sure that the salmon is properly marinated. To do this, place the salmon in a shallow dish and cover it with the marinade. Then, refrigerate the salmon for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Cook the salmon over medium heat: Cooking the salmon over medium heat will help to prevent it from overcooking and drying out. If you cook the salmon over high heat, it will likely burn on the outside before it is cooked through on the inside.
- Use a non-stick skillet: A non-stick skillet will help to prevent the salmon from sticking to the pan. If you don't have a non-stick skillet, you can also use a regular skillet, but you will need to grease it well before cooking the salmon.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: When cooking the salmon, don't overcrowd the skillet. If you overcrowd the skillet, the salmon will not cook evenly. Instead, cook the salmon in batches if necessary.
- Cook the salmon until it is cooked through: The salmon is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork. To check if the salmon is cooked through, insert a fork into the thickest part of the fillet. If the fork comes out clean, the salmon is cooked through.
Conclusion:
Chinese five-spice marinated salmon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The marinade gives the salmon a flavorful and slightly sweet taste, and the salmon cooks quickly and easily. Serve the salmon with your favorite sides, such as rice, vegetables, or salad.
