DANNY CHAN'S STEAMED SALMON WITH LEMON



Danny Chan's Steamed Salmon with Lemon image

Chinese cooks traditionally steam fish with ginger and scallions, which are said to mollify the flavor of the fish. Chef Danny Chan's innovative twist is the addition of refreshing lemon. When Chef Chan steams shrimp, scallops and lobster, he uses the same method, but omits the soy sauce.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Two 1-pound salmon fillets
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
2 scallions, cut into 4-inch pieces
4 slices ginger
1 lemon
2 teaspoons sesame oil

Steps:

  • Thoroughly rinse the fish in cold water and pat dry. Put the fillets in a 9-inch shallow heatproof bowl. Drizzle the soy sauce, salt and pepper over the salmon. Sprinkle with the scallions and ginger. Cut the lemon in half crosswise. Cut half a lemon into 4 slices and put on the fish. Juice the remaining lemon and drizzle over the fish.
  • Put a 1-inch-high steamer rack in a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok. Add water to a depth of 3/4 inch and bring to a boil over high heat. Carefully put the bowl on the rack, cover, and steam for 8 to 10 minutes. Test the fish for doneness by poking the thickest party with a chopstick or fork; the fish should flake. If not, steam 1 to 2 minutes or until the fish just flakes. Be sure to check the water level from time to time and replenish if necessary, with boiling water. Carefully remove the bowl from the wok. Drizzle the sesame oil over the fillets.

SALMON WITH LEMON-HERB MARINADE



Salmon With Lemon-Herb Marinade image

Here's one of the easiest ways to entertain: broil or grill a large salmon fillet, then adorn it with lemon wedges and rosemary sprigs. This recipe marinates the rich salmon in lemon juice, soy sauce and herbs. Serve it with a sharply flavored potato salad (like this one, with red Bliss potatoes and watercress in a yogurt-horseradish dressing) and a large bowl of greens.

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 3-pound salmon fillet, in one piece
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest salmon you can find. Fresh salmon will have a bright pink color and a mild, slightly salty smell. Avoid salmon that is dull in color or has a strong fishy smell.
  • Use a variety of herbs to flavor the salmon. Some good choices include rosemary, thyme, dill, and parsley. You can also use lemon zest or sliced lemons to add a citrusy flavor.
  • Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish that can easily become overcooked. Cook it until it is just opaque in the center, about 10 minutes per inch of thickness.
  • Serve the salmon immediately. Steamed salmon is best served hot, with a squeeze of lemon juice and a dollop of your favorite sauce.

Conclusion:

Steamed salmon is a healthy and delicious way to enjoy this versatile fish. It is quick and easy to prepare, and it can be flavored with a variety of herbs and spices. Whether you are new to cooking salmon or you are looking for a new way to prepare it, steamed salmon is a great option.
