DANNY CHAN'S STEAMED SALMON WITH LEMON



Danny Chan's Steamed Salmon with Lemon image

Chinese cooks traditionally steam fish with ginger and scallions, which are said to mollify the flavor of the fish. Chef Danny Chan's innovative twist is the addition of refreshing lemon. When Chef Chan steams shrimp, scallops and lobster, he uses the same method, but omits the soy sauce.

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Two 1-pound salmon fillets
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
2 scallions, cut into 4-inch pieces
4 slices ginger
1 lemon
2 teaspoons sesame oil

Steps:

  • Thoroughly rinse the fish in cold water and pat dry. Put the fillets in a 9-inch shallow heatproof bowl. Drizzle the soy sauce, salt and pepper over the salmon. Sprinkle with the scallions and ginger. Cut the lemon in half crosswise. Cut half a lemon into 4 slices and put on the fish. Juice the remaining lemon and drizzle over the fish.
  • Put a 1-inch-high steamer rack in a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok. Add water to a depth of 3/4 inch and bring to a boil over high heat. Carefully put the bowl on the rack, cover, and steam for 8 to 10 minutes. Test the fish for doneness by poking the thickest party with a chopstick or fork; the fish should flake. If not, steam 1 to 2 minutes or until the fish just flakes. Be sure to check the water level from time to time and replenish if necessary, with boiling water. Carefully remove the bowl from the wok. Drizzle the sesame oil over the fillets.

STEAMED SALMON STEAKS, THAI STYLE



Steamed Salmon Steaks, Thai Style image

Entered for safe-keeping, from Sean Donnellan's "Something Tastes Funny", recipe by Naidre Miller. This cookbook is for new cooks or non-cooks. I keep stainless steel folding steamer inserts on hand, one for saucepans, and one for a large skillet. One could also put a round wire rack in a large skillet, and take two 18-inch long sheets of aluminum foil and fold each twice lengthwise for reinforcement; if the two long aluminum foil strips are laid like a big "X" across the wire rack before placing the plate holding the salmon steaks, it will be easier to remove the plate after cooking. Preparation time includes marination time.

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon vegetable oil or 1 tablespoon canola oil
2 shallots, peeled and thinly sliced
2 inches fresh ginger, peeled and julienned (cut 1-1/2-inchx1/8-inchx1/8-inch)
4 garlic cloves, slivered
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup Thai fish sauce (Nam Pla)
24 ounces salmon steaks (4 steaks)
fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a medium skillet, heat the oil until very hot but not smoking, and add the shallots, ginger, and garlic. Cook for 1 minute, until very aromatic but not browned.
  • Add the brown sugar and fish sauce and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Spread half of the sauce on a lightly oiled plate that will fit into a steamer, and place the steaks on top of the sauce. Pour the other half of the sauce on top of the steaks, and let marinate for 20 minutes.
  • Fill steamer with enough water to sit below, but not touch the steamer basket, and bring to a high simmer.
  • Place the plate in the basket, cover, and steam for approximately 10 minutes, or until the meat is opaque.
  • Carefully remove the steaks with a spatula to a serving plate, and spoon any remaining sauce over steaks.
  • Garnish with cilantro leaves. Serve with fluffy rice and a crisp green vegetable. Cold beer goes well with this.

LEMON & WINE STEAM BAKED IN FOIL SALMON



Lemon & Wine Steam Baked in Foil Salmon image

This salmon recipe really infuses the fish with a delicious lemony wine flavor. Its super moist and wonderfully complex tasting when done. Not to mention fairly easy. Depending on your tastes you can go with a Moscato for a sweeter taste or Pinot Grigio for more lemony flavor. I tend towards the Pinot Grigio myself. The small 187ml bottles are just about perfect for a 1 lb. fillet but if you just want to go ahead and buy the whole bottle then serve the rest with dinner that's good too. Sometimes I will marinate the salmon in the same mix of wine lemon and herbs for an hour before cooking but it's not really that necessary.

Tips:

  • Select the freshest salmon steaks: Look for salmon steaks that are firm to the touch, with a vibrant orange-pink color. Avoid steaks that are slimy or have an off odor.
  • Use a steamer basket: Steaming is a gentle cooking method that helps retain the salmon's delicate flavor and texture. If you don't have a steamer basket, you can use a colander placed over a pot of simmering water.
  • Add flavorful ingredients to the steaming water: Lemon slices, fennel fronds, and white wine add subtle flavors to the salmon as it steams. You can also experiment with other herbs and spices, such as dill, thyme, or rosemary.
  • Don't overcook the salmon: Salmon is a delicate fish that cooks quickly. Overcooked salmon will become dry and tough. Cook the salmon just until it is opaque in the center, about 6-8 minutes depending on the thickness of the steaks.
  • Make the lemon-butter sauce while the salmon is steaming: This allows the flavors in the sauce to meld together. You can also make the sauce ahead of time and rewarm it just before serving.

Conclusion:

Steamed salmon steaks with lemon-butter sauce is a light, flavorful, and healthy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The salmon is cooked gently in a steamer basket, which helps retain its delicate flavor and texture. The lemon-butter sauce adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the salmon, and the fennel fronds add a subtle anise flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
