Steamed salmon and rice with an chilli garlic and ginger sauce
Using a steamer makes it so easy to make this simple Asian steamed salmon and rice recipe which I've served with a ginger garlic and chilli sauce. It's easy, healthy and full of flavour.

Instructions
Half an hour before cooking, coat the salmon in the teriyaki sauce and leave it to marinate.
Fill the bowl at the bottom of the steamer with hot water according to the instructions. My steamer takes about 400ml water.
Put the rice in the rice bowl and pour hot water on top to just cover it.
Put the rice on the steamer and set it for 15 minutes. Set a timer for 5 minutes.
When the timer goes, put the bowl with the vegetables on the steamer, under the rice. Set another 5 minute timer.
When the timer goes, put the bowl with the fish under the rice and continue cooking for 5 minutes.
When the fish is cooking, heat the vegetable oil in a small saucepan and when hot, add the ginger, garlic and chilli pepper. Fry until it begins to crisp up but make sure it doesn't burn. Then add the soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil and sugar. Bring to the boil and stir well.
Divide the fish, vegetables and rice between two plates and spoon the sauce over the top.
Instructions for if you don't have a steamer
Rice
Just boil the rice and drain it. Or use a bag of ready cooked microwave rice.
Salmon
You can gently pan fry the salmon for about 5 minutes then turn it over and cook the other side for 5 more minutes.Alternatively you can cook it in the microwave. Put it in a microwave bowl and cover with cling film or a microwave lid and cook on high for 1 minutes. Check if it is done and flakes easily. If not it may need 20-30 seconds longer.
The Vegetables
You can boil the vegetables or microwave them. If you microwave them, put them in a bowl with a little water and cook for about 3 minutes.
