-= Ingredients =-
8 ounces salmon filets ; - 2 -(4oz) skinless
2 large scallops
1 teaspoon Ginger ; - grated
2 cloves Garlic ; minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 cups Snow peas
2 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
2 each scallions ; - thin slices
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro

-= Instructions =-
Rub filets and scallops with mixture of ginger, garlic and oil. Put a couple
of cabbage leaves in a bamboo steamer basket and place fish and scallops in
basket. In saucepan, bring 2 inches of water to a boil. Place steamer basket
in saucepan and steam, covered for 4 minutes (if filets are thin) or longer
if they are over an inch thick.

Make sauce by combining lime juice, soy sauce, sesame oil and scallions or
cilantro. Set aside.

Top fish with snow peas (or use separate steamer basket) and steam, covered,
until fish is cooked through and snow peas are crisp-tender, about 2-3
minutes longer. Take care not to overcook the peas. They should be tender,
but not limp.

To serve, make bed of snow peas, top with fish, and drizzle with sauce.

Note: other firm fish may be substituted for the salmon
