STEAMED SALMON CANTONESE STYLE
When salmon is steamed with fresh ginger, fish sauce, and premium rice wine, it takes on a creamy texture that cannot be achieved with any other cooking method. As a final step, hot, garlic-flavored oil is poured over the salmon to sear in the juices. From the Wild Ginger Restaurant, Seattle WA.

Steps:
- To steam in a wok, cross two chopsticks in an X, then cut a groove in the lower chopstick so that the top one fits snugly.
- Set the chopsticks in the wok and add water to 1 inch below the level of the chopsticks.
- Place lid on wok and turn heat to high.
- Place the salmon, skin side down, on a glass pie plate or rimmed glass plate slightly smaller than the diameter of the wok.
- Cover with ginger slices.
- Pour rice wine and fish sauce over fish.
- When the water is boiling, remove the lid from the wok and position the plate containing the salmon and seasonings on top of the chopsticks.
- Replace the lid and cook 7 to 8 minutes, or until the salmon just turns opaque and begins to flake.
- Two to three minutes before the salmon is done steaming, heat the peanut oil in a small skillet over high heat.
- When the oil is very hot, add the garlic and cook until browned.
- Discard the garlic, but do not turn off the heat until you use the oil; it must be very hot to sear the fish properly.
- When the salmon is cooked, transfer to a warm plate.
- Place green onion strips on top of the fish and immediately pour hot oil over the fish and onions.
- Garnish with cilantro sprigs and serve immediately.
- Serves 2 as an entree, 4 as an appetizer.
