I grew up in Vancouver eating wild sockeye salmon before the days of omega3, organics,etc. and to most fish lovers, this recipe is a TRAVESTY.. You don’t take a wonderfully flavorful fatty fish like WILD, sockeye salmon and completely mask its rich, wonderful flavor with marinates and heavy Asian spices – no, no, no, no, no!!! Just salt rubbed all over, left for a bit in the fridge, then pan fried in a bit of butter or oil (mild flavored) is enough!

@gabriellesunheart – agreed! Wild sockeye salmon in all its rich red fatty flavorful glory shouldn’t be masked by all this excess cream and spices. Same for all full flavored fish — just a little salt rubbed into the flesh, left in the fridge to “marinate” and then pan fried in mild-flavored oil or butter is all that’s needed for a wonderful meal. Spicy, strong marinates could be used for less flavorful salmon like spring salmon or the farmed variety but never expensive genuine wild sockeye!
omg i am hungry now …
. fortunatly i live just outside vancouver and can frequent vij’s , we go about 4 or 5 times a year , not only is the food awesome but vikram is one of a nice guy, he actually goes to every table every night i have been there to say hello. If you go, ask him what wines he would recomend with the dishes you chose, not only can he cook but he loves wine also.

Honestly I prefer Salmon to be seasoned less. Salmon has such a great flavor…you really do not need all of the spices to make it good. Just some olive oil, salt and pepper.
