Tips:
- Use a high-quality, fresh salmon fillet. Look for one that is bright pink in color and has no signs of bruising or discoloration.
- If you don't have a steamer basket, you can use a colander or metal strainer instead. Just make sure to place it over a pot of boiling water so that the steam can circulate around the salmon.
- To ensure that the salmon is cooked through, insert a thermometer into the thickest part of the fillet. The internal temperature should read 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the salmon immediately with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
