Asian Steamed Salmon

Rated

Ingredients

1 lb salmon fillet, (1-1/4 lbs and 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick), cut into 4 pieces
2 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons scallions, finely chopped
2 teaspoon fresh ginger root, minced
1/8 tsp ground black pepper

Preparation

In a large saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, bring 3/4" of water to a boil.

Coat a steamer basket with no-stick spray. Place the salmon, skin side down, in the basket and brush the top surface with 1 teaspoon of the soy sauce. Sprinkle with 1-1/2 tablespoons of the scallions.

Carefully set the basket in the saucepan, making sure the basket sits above the water. Cover and steam for 4 to 7 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily when tested with a fork.

Transfer the salmon, skin-side down, to a serving platter or individual plates. Drizzle with the remaining 1 teaspoon soy sauce. Then sprinkle with the ginger, pepper and remaining 1-1/2 tablespoons scallions.
