How to Make Steamed Salmon Steaks Thai Style
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
- Add 2 large thinly sliced shallots, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, and 2 minced cloves of garlic. Cook for 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar and 2 tablespoons fish sauce. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
- Lightly oil a heat-safe plate that fits in your steamer. Spread half of the sauce on the plate.
- Place the salmon steaks on top of the sauce. Pour the remaining sauce over the steaks.
- Marinate for 20 minutes.
- Fill your steamer with enough water to sit below the steamer basket. Bring to a high simmer.
- Place the plate with the salmon into the steamer basket. Cover and steam for approximately 10-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Carefully remove the salmon steaks with a spatula and transfer to a serving plate. Spoon any remaining sauce over the steaks.
- Garnish with 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves.
- Serve immediately with fluffy rice and a crisp green vegetable of your choice. Enjoy with a cold beer!
