Lacquered salmon - bon appetit

8 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 cups Soy sauce
2 tablespoons Cornstarch
2 tablespoons Oriental sesame oil
2 tablespoons Minced peeled fresh ginger
2 tablespoons Rice wine or dry
Sherry
1 tablespoon Honey
1 teaspoon Hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco)
1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
2 Garlic cloves, chopped
½ teaspoon Ground turmeric
8 8-oz salmon fillets (about 1 inch thick)
2 Bunches green onions, ends trimmed
⅔ cup Water (opt.)
Chopped green onions

Directions

Puree first 10 ingredients in blender until almost smooth. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.) Preheat oven to 400'F. Lightly oil 2 medium baking dishes. Divide fish between prepared dishes. Add 1 bunch whole green onions to each dish.

Pour half of sauce over fish, dividing between dishes. Bake until fish is just cooked through, basting frequently with remaining sauce and adding ⅓ C water to each dish if sauce begins to burn, about 20 minutes. Arrange fish and baked green onions on plates; garnish with chopped green onions.
