   • Begin by rinsing the salmon fillet under cold water and patting it dry with paper towels.
   • Cut the salmon into 4 to 6 pieces, depending on your preference and serving size.

2. Marinate the Salmon:

   • In a medium bowl, whisk together the mirin, soy sauce, minced ginger, honey, hot sauce (if using), minced garlic, and chopped green onion.
   • Add the salmon pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated on both sides.
   • Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and infuse into the salmon.

3. Steam the Salmon:

   • After marinating, remove the salmon from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature while you prepare the steamer.
   • In a large pot or wok, bring water to a boil. Place a large steamer basket or bamboo steamer above the boiling water.
   • Arrange the marinated salmon pieces in the steamer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
   • Cover the steamer with a lid and steam the salmon for approximately 8 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the interior is opaque.

4. Prepare the Marinade Sauce:

   • While the salmon is steaming, strain the reserved marinade into a small pot to remove any solids.
   • Bring the strained marinade to a boil over high heat and let it boil for 30 seconds to ensure it’s safe to consume.

5. Serve:

   • Carefully remove the steamed salmon from the basket and transfer it to serving plates.
   • Drizzle the hot marinade sauce over the salmon pieces.
   • Garnish with fresh coriander for a pop of color and extra flavor.
   • Serve immediately, and enjoy the tender, flavorful Steamed Ginger Garlic Salmon!
