Recipe - Salmon And Shiitakes Steamed In Romaine

MARINATED SALMON:
1 pound Salmon fillets
2 tablespoon Bottled hot or regular
Teriyaki sauce
1 teaspoon Lemon juice
1 teaspoon Finely chopped mint
VEGETABLES:
1 teaspoon Canola or vegetable oil
One fourth pound Shiitake mushrooms, stems
Trimmed, wiped cleaned,
Thinly cut or sliced up
One half Inch piece gingerroot,
Peeled and minced
2 teaspoon Finely minced mint
1 tablespoon Bottled hot teriyaki sauce
8 lg Romaine leaves, cleaned,
Thicker part of rib removed
STEAMING LIQUID:
6 cup Water
One half cup Packed mint leaves
One half Lemon, thinly cut or sliced up
1 Inch gingerroot, thinly
Sliced
SAUCE:
4 tablespoon Bottled hot teriyaki sauce
1 tablespoon Lemon juice
1 teaspoon Sugar
1 teaspoon Finely chopped fresh mint

1. To prepare the marinated salmon: Cut salmon fillet crosswise into 4
pieces; pour into a glass pan. Combine two tablespoons teriyaki sauce,
lemon juice and mint. Pour over the salmon and refrigerate one hour.

2. To prepare the vegetables: Heat oil over a nonstick skillet set over
medium heat. When hot, add the mushrooms and ginger; saute until
softened, about four minutes. Add the mint and 1 tablespoon teriyaki
sauce and bring to a boil. Saute 1 minute. Remove from the pan.

3. To prepare the steaming liquid: Put the water, mint, lemon and ginger
into a large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat slightly so that
the liquid remains at a low boil. Fit a steamer basket or rack over
the top. Lay the romaine leaves on top, cover and steam 4 minutes,
until wilted. Remove the lettuce from the steamer.

4. Remove the salmon from the marinade. (Discard the marinade.) Spoon the
mushrooms over each piece of salmon and wrap each in 2 of the steamed
romaine leaves. Place on the steamer and steam twelve minutes per inch
of thickness. Test the salmon in the center for doneness.

5. While the salmon is steaming, prepare the sauce: Stir together the
teriyaki sauce, lemon juice, sugar and mint. Serve on the side of the
salmon.
