Description
Easy Steamed Ginger Salmon: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Fill a pot with about an inch of water. Place a steaming basket inside and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry. Season them with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a small bowl, combine the grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and lemon juice. Mix well.
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for about 5 minutes.
- Place the marinated salmon fillets in the steaming basket. Make sure they are not overcrowded, allowing steam to circulate.
- Cover and steam the salmon for about 10-15 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork. The exact time will depend on the thickness of your fillets.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the salmon from the steaming basket. Top with sliced green onions and, if desired, fresh cilantro for a burst of color and flavor.
