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
Instructions
- 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.
