A recipe from Ricardo. This is so good. I steamed the marinated salmon in my steamer machine. But you can do it any way you want.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
4 skinless salmon steaks, about 170 g (6 oz)
2 green onions, cut into 7 . 5-cm (3-inch)
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Marinade: In a bowl or sealable bag, combine all the ingredients. 
.
  • Salmon: Add the salmon to the marinade and coat well. Refrigerate for about 2 hours.
  • Drain the steaks and pour the marinade into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 5 minutes or until the sauce is syrupy. Set aside.
  • Place the steaks, side by side, in a steamer (bamboo or a pan with holes on the bottom), placed on top of a pan of boiling water. Season with salt and pepper. Top the steaks with the green onions. Steam for about 8 minutes or until the desired doneness.
  • Spoon the sauce over the salmon and serve with jasmine rice and green vegetables.

Tips:

  • Choose a firm, fresh salmon fillet. Look for fillets that are bright pink or orange in color and have a mild, fresh smell. Avoid fillets that are dull or grayish in color or have a strong fishy smell.
  • Use a quality steamer. A bamboo steamer is a traditional choice for steaming fish, but you can also use a metal steamer basket or a colander placed over a pot of boiling water.
  • Season the salmon simply. Salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice are all you need to bring out the natural flavor of the salmon.
  • Steam the salmon until it is just cooked through. The flesh should be opaque and flaky, but still slightly moist in the center. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
  • Serve the salmon immediately, topped with your favorite sauce or garnish.

Conclusion:

Steamed Asian salmon is a healthy, delicious, and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes of cooking time, you can enjoy a restaurant-quality meal in the comfort of your own home. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying meal, give steamed Asian salmon a try. You won't be disappointed!
