Chinese Five Spice Marinated Salmon - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 1/2 lbs skinless salmon fillet, cut into 1 in strips
    Marinade
    3 tablespoons soy sauce
    3 tablespoons chinese rice wine
    2 teaspoons sesame oil
    1 tablespoon brown sugar
    1 tablespoon limes or 1 tablespoon lemon juice
    1 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
    2 -3 dashes hot pepper sauce (to taste)
    Garnish
    1 tablespoon ginger, grated (to taste)
    lemons or lime wedge
Preparation
    Combine the marinade ingredients in a shallow nonmetalic baking dish or ziplock bag,.
    Add the salmon strips and turn gently to coat.
    Refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes or up to 6 hours, turning often.
    Steamed Salmon:
    Remove salmon from marinade and place in a casserole dish that will fit inside your bamboo steamer. (I use a disposible aluminum cake pan that has been slightly modified to allow steam to filter around the sides.).
    Generously brush salmon with your favorite oriental sauce; sprinkle grated ginger on top.
    Cover with bamboo lid and place over boiling water to steam.
    Steam for 10-12 minutes; or until fish flakes with a fork.
    Serve over rice with lemon/lime wedge.
