Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to steam pink salmon? Prepare the ingredients. It is not necessary to use pink salmon fillets — you can also use fish steaks, but it is preferable for the pink salmon to be chilled. If you only have frozen pink salmon, then the main thing is to defrost it correctly. First place frozen fish in the refrigerator for 5-7 hours, and then defrost at room temperature.

Step 2

Step 2
Rinse the pink salmon well and pat dry with paper napkins so that the fish does not turn out watery. If necessary, cut into desired size pieces. Although pink salmon does not belong to the noble varieties of fish, we will prepare it in such a way that its taste will not be inferior to more elite types of fish.

Step 3

Step 3
We only need lemon juice. Therefore, it is quite possible to use ready-made lemon juice in factory packaging. If you squeeze juice directly from citrus, then wash it well with hot water first — this way the fruit will release much more juice.

Step 4

Step 4
Salt the fish a little. Do not overdo it with salt — after all, we are preparing a healthy steamed dish!

Step 5

Step 5
Prepare a steamer or slow cooker where you will cook. Prepare a bowl, pour 250 ml of water into it and the stand itself for laying out the products. I cook fish in a slow cooker in the Steam mode.

Step 6

Step 6
Place the fish pieces skin side down on the rack. Pepper it a little. You can also add your favorite herbs or seasonings now: for example, fresh thyme and rosemary will be nice if you like them. Or maybe you can add dry Provençal herbs or garlic powder.

Step 7

Step 7
Place the stand on the bowl of water. Cook in Steam mode. The cooking time depends on the thickness of the fish pieces, but in any case, the fish cooks quickly enough and you can safely set the time to 25 minutes — and you won’t be mistaken, during this time the fish will definitely have time to cook!

Step 8

Step 8
Serve the fish immediately when it is hot. Bon appetit!
