Fresh Salmon

This recipe was inspired from:

  • First you take some fresh salmon, clean it up real good like a gangsta.
  • Throw some salt on it
  • Cut up some spring/green onions length wise and sprinkle it along the salmon
  • Let the salmon sit in the fridge for about 20 min (you dont want it to get all nasty on you)
Salmon in Steamer
Ready to Steam

Then you want to steam the fish, but there are multiple ways to do this. You do not need a power burner, or an outdoor kitchen to do this, but it’s just so much more fun. The fish will take about 20-30 minutes to steam. While that is gett’n goin, you will want to prep the special sauce. Now I can not really take any credit for this at all, but I did take some liberty in how this is made.

The Sauce:

The Special Sauce
The Special Sauce
  • take some fresh garlic, about 3-4 cloves, dice them up and throw them in a small pot to boil
  • cut some ginger in discs, sqaures, strips, doesnt matter. I always am at a shortage of giner, so I just use ginger powder (good enough). How much? meh… trow in a tsp or so.
  • throw in some brown sugar, about 3-5 tbl spoons
  • add 3/4 cup to 1 cup light soy sauce
  • add 3/4-1 cup of cooking wine (sometimes I use Soju or Sake)
  • get about 2-3 tsp of seasamie oil and heat it over an open flame to get it nice and toasty, then add it into the sauce concoction.
  • continue to hear the mix until it boils a bit, then you are good to go. you can play around with amount of ingredients.

 

Now the fish and sauce shold be ready. You want to be careful with the fish, as there will be a lot of water sloshing around. Try to drain some if possible. However you do it, just be careful because it is HOT.

Pour the sauce over the fish and serve. Goes great with some stir fried spinach and rice. yummmmmmmmm.
