Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillet (skinless, boneless)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 stalks Green onions (thinly sliced)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 1 cup Water
- 1 piece Lime (cut into wedges)
Instructions
Prepare the Soy Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Set aside.
Set Up a Steamer: Fill a large pot or wok with 1 cup of water and bring to a gentle simmer. Place a steamer basket or heat-safe plate above the water level, ensuring it does not touch the water.
Prepare the Salmon: Pat the salmon pieces dry with a paper towel. Place them in the steamer basket or on the plate, ensuring they are in a single layer without overlapping.
Steam the Salmon: Cover the pot or wok with a lid and steam over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Heat the Glaze: While the salmon steams, pour the prepared soy glaze into a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened, stirring continuously. Remove from heat.
Assemble the Dish: Carefully transfer the steamed salmon to a serving plate. Drizzle the warm soy glaze over each piece of salmon.
Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the steamed salmon with sliced green onions and sesame seeds (if using). Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
