Steamed Alaska Salmon, Chinese Style
Prep Time: 10 Cook Time: 15
Servings: 2
Pour broth into a wok or shallow pan. Add the soy sauce, garlic, ginger, Chinese five-spice powder and all the vegetables. Bring to a simmer.
Rinse any ice glaze from frozen Alaska Salmon under cold water; pat dry with paper towel. Place salmon fillets on top of the vegetables and cover with a lid or sheet of foil. Cook 8 to 10 minutes for frozen salmon or 5 to 7 minutes for fresh/thawed fish. Cook just until fish is opaque throughout.
Taste the broth, seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed. Ladle into warm bowls and serve.
Cook's tip: To make the dish more substantial, serve with rice or egg noodles.
