INGREDIENTS

6 1" thick salmon steaks ; cleaned and patted dry
1/8 Cup sesame oil
6 Tablespoons garlic/black bean paste
6 teaspoons fresh ginger root ; chopped and crushed
4-5 whole, fresh green and red jalapenos ; seeded and sliced
1/2 Cup cilantro ; chopped
1/2 Cup peanut oil
6 Tablespoons fresh whole green onions ; chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

Clean and pat dry salmon steaks then coat them with sesame oil. Chop and crush ginger. Chop green onions. Slice and seed jalapenos or other equivalent sized chiles so they make rings. Prepare steamer by placing tin foil on the perforated part so the salmon won't stick, then place the salmon on the tinfoil covered insert. First spread a tablespoon of bean/garlic paste, 1 t ginger, and 1 T. of chopped green onions, in that order, on the steaks. Place jalapeno rings on top of other toppings. Steam the steaks for 6 minutes for medium rare, or until preferred. The steaks are done when the skin pulls easily away. Meanwhile, during the steaming, chop the cilantro and heat the peanut oil in a pan until hot. When the salmon is done, spread the cilantro on each steak and pour the hot peanut oil on top to wilt it. (Don't be afraid, it will pop and crackle a bit.)

NOTES

This recipe can be altered in every ingredient to suit your taste. Typically, we like to have a nice salad and jasmine rice made with coconut milk.
