Preparation duration: -1 minutes

Cooking duration: -1 minutes

 

Ingredients:

2 larges Banana Leaves (big enough to wrap your salmon in)

1 pinch cinnamon

pinch Fennel seed

1 tablespoon Fish Sauce

clove Garlic, minced

piece Ginger, minced

1 1/2 tablespoons Peach Preserves

Crushed Red Chiles

1/4 cup Rice (uncooked)

3/4 teaspoon Rice Wine Vinegar

2 fillet or steaks Salmon

2 eachs Scallions, slice thin

6 scallions

3/4 teaspoon Sesame Oil

1 1/4 teaspoons Soy Sauce

1 each Star Anise

2 tablespoons Tahini

1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil

Equipment:

steamer basket

microwave

pot

whisk

Cooking instruction summary:

  1. Begin by mixing all of your marinade ingredients together and pouring it over the salmon in a big baggy or container. Marinate under refrigeration for at least a half an hour or up to 2 hours.
  2. While salmon is marinating, put all of your scented rice powder ingredients into a spice grinder and pulse until everything is coarsely ground. Remember, you want a few larger crumbles of rice for mouth-feel!
  3. Remove the salmon from the marinade (discarding any leftover marinade) and coat it with some of the scented rice powder on each side. You won't use it all with just the 2 pieces of salmon. Save some for another time.
  4. Lay your banana leaves out flat. Place one salmon fillet in the center of each leaf. Fold one side over the salmon.
  5. Fold the opposite side over that, then both ends to make a little package.
  6. Place salmon packets in a steamer basket over boiling water.
  7. Put all of the marinade ingredients into a small sauce pot or alternately, a microwave safe dish and bring to a heat. Whisk everything together and it's ready to serve.
  8. After ~10-13 minutes, salmon will be finished. Flip the smooth side of the banana leaves up and make a slit through them to serve....they kinda look like tamales, huh!
  9. I served with chinese noodles, corn and the dipping sauce.

Food Trivia

In 2012, divers discovered a 2,000-year-old Roman shipwreck that was so well preserved even the food was intact in its storage jars.

Food Joke

A man told his doctor, "I don't think my wife's hearing is as good as it used to be. What should I do?" The doctor replied, "Try this test first. When your wife is at the sink doing dishes, stand fifteen feet behind her and ask her a question. If she doesn't respond, keep moving closer, asking the question until she hears you." He went home and saw his wife preparing dinner. Standing fifteen feet behind her he said, "What's for dinner, honey?" Hearing no reply, he moved up to ten feet behind her and repeated the question. Still no reply, so he moved to five feet. Finally he stood directly behind her and said, "Honey, what's for dinner tonight?" She turned around and yelled in his face, "For the fourth time, I SAID CHICKEN, you deaf old goat!
