Ingredients
  • 2 individual portions of boneless and skinless salmon fillet
  • ½ cup of maple syrup
  • ¼ cup of soya sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, minced
  • 2 tablespoons of lime juice (or 2 kaffir lime leaves whole)
  • 1 tablespoon of Thai fish sauce
    • Directions
  • 1.

    To make the marinade, mix the maple syrup, soya sauce, ginger, garlic, pepper, limes and Thai fish sauce together in a glass dish.

  • 2.

    Place the salmon fillets in the marinade and coat both sides of the fillet.

  • 3.

    Steam on high in a wok or steamer for about 5 - 10 minutes (or until desired doneness).

  • 4.

    Do not discard the marinade. While the fish is steaming, pour the marinade into a saucepan and on medium high heat, reduce the marinade into a medium sauce for sauce on top of the salmon. Be careful to watch that the marinade does not get scorched. Cool and spoon on top of the salmon. Serve with steamed vegetables.
