Salmon Steak In Caramel Sauce (Vietnamese Ca Kho)

1. 1

   Heat heavy sauce pan (large enough to accomodate fish without overlapping) on medium high.

2. 2

   Add sugar, melt and caramelize (you want it brown, but not burnt). Sugar should be brown and very hot.

3. 3

   Add minced ginger (be careful, it may sizzle if there's water in the ginger) and stir for about 15 seconds.

4. 4

   Add fish sauce and fresh cracked pepper. Stir.

5. 5

   Add fish steaks, do not overlap fish to make sure each piece is soaked in the sauce.

6. 6

   Cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes. Do not cover. The sauce needs to thicken into a light syrup. If the sauce gets too thick, add a teaspoon of water at a time to thin.

7. 7

   Turn fish over and cook for another 4 minutes or until fish is cooked depending on the thickness of your fish steaks.

8. 8

   Serve immediate with steamed white rice. The sauce is good on the rice.
