How to Make Asian Steamed Salmon

  3. Pour the sauce evenly over the salmon fillet.
  4. Place 1/4 cup of thinly sliced scallions over the salmon.
  5. Steam the salmon for 8-10 minutes, or until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillet.
  6. Remove the salmon from the steamer and garnish with extra scallions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds (optional).
  7. Serve immediately with your choice of Riesling or Pinot Grigio.
