    2. Cut 2 (12-in.-sq.) sheets of parchment paper. Pat salmon dry with paper towels. Place each salmon fillet on center of each sheet of parchment. Brush with Thai chili sauce mixture. Bring up two opposite sides of parchment for each packet; double-fold each top, then double-fold ends to seal packets.

    3. Arrange vegetables, in a single layer, in each tier of a (6-in.) 2-tier bamboo steamer basket. Place fish in parchment packets on top of vegetables, folding up sides of parchment to fit inside of steamer tiers. Stack the two steamer tiers; cover with woven bamboo lid. Set aside.

    4. Place a wire trivet in the bottom of a 14-in. wok. Pour 2 cups water into wok so water is just below the trivet. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to a simmer over medium heat. Place steamer basket on trivet in wok. Cover with wok lid.

    5. Steam fish and vegetables for 14 to 16 minutes or until fish reaches 145 degrees and vegetables are crisp-tender, adding more water if needed. Remove basket from wok wearing oven mitts.

    6. To serve, open parchment packets; brush salmon with reserved sauce mixture. Remove salmon from parchment packets and place on top of rice with vegetables; drizzle with juices from packets.
