I liked this recipe. Subtle flavors were interesting. However, I may poach the fish in a pan with the ingredients next time, rather than stea I think more of these unique flavors will be in each bite....

This was great. My husband and I both thought it tasted really good, was very simple and fast to make. We don't have a steamer (well, we do but it's packed up right now) so we put the salmon in a glass pie plate and put that on top of an inverted stainless steel bowl in a large shallow stock pot. Worked great.

This is a recipe to try!! I did not have the bean paste. I added rice wine vinegar, oyster sauce, and the remaining ingrediants. I also chose to bake for 15 minutes instead of steaming. Very yummy.
