Bistek is a savory dish originally made with beef, but this recipe showcases tender salmon steaks cooked in a tangy marinade with onion rings. The salmon is coated in oil and corn starch, fried to a crispy medium rare, then simmered in a flavorful sauce with soy sauce, lemon juice, and brown sugar. Served with rice and plenty of onion rings, it's a delicious twist on a classic dish.
