Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Additionally, our nutrition visualizer that suggests that you limit sodium, sugar, etc., and get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals is not intended as medical advice.

The team behind spoonacular does not possess any medical qualifications and the information may be found to be incorrect or out of date based on future research.

Fish works really well with Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio, and Gruener Veltliner. Fish is as diverse as wine, so it's hard to pick wines that go with every fish. A crisp white wine, such as a pinot grigio or Grüner Veltliner, will suit any delicately flavored white fish. Meaty, strongly flavored fish such as salmon and tuna can even handle a light red wine, such as a pinot noir. The Etude Heirloom Pinot Noir with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 89 dollars per bottle.

Instructions

  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.
