Steaming is wonderful to have your way with Salmon, one of life's healthy pleasures. It keeps the fish moist and luscious topped with a clever use of herbed yogurt.
Ingredients
300 g salmon fillet portions
2 tsp olive oil
Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
2 tsp parsley, chopped
2 tsp cilantro, chopped
4 tsp dill, chopped
1 cup plain nonfat yogurt
1 pc lemon, sliced into rounds
Directions
HERBED YOGURT:
Mix the chopped herbs with yogurt and olive oil until well combined.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Keep in the fridge until ready to serve.
STEAMED SALMON:
Place water in a wok, then let it boil while covered.
Meanwhile, line a bamboo steamer basket (or simple steamer) with parchment paper.
Poke some holes in the parchment with a knife or a fork.
Line the parchment with the rest of the dill.
Season salmon fillet portions with salt and pepper.
Place fillets over the dill.
Top each fillet with a lemon slice (set aside the rest for later) and cover the steamer.
Once the water comes to a boil, lower the heat to a fast simmer and place the steamer basket on the wok.
Make sure the water does not touch the steamer basket; discard excess water if necessary.
Steam the fish for about 7 to 10 minutes or until just done.
You can check by piercing the fish lightly with the point of a small knife; if it flakes easily, then it is done.
Garnish salmon fillets with dill and black pepper.
Serve with the garlic herb yogurt and extra lemon slices on the side.
Enjoy!
