STEAMED GINGERED SALMON WITH WARM CITRUS SAUCE

Steps:

• Set up a steamer. In a saute pan coated with oil on medium heat, saute the ginger and scallions until soft, about 2 minutes. Set aside. Wipe out pan and toast the salt and peppercorns until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Grind the peppercorns and salt. Season the fillets on both sides with the salt/peppercorn mixture. Place 1 wrapper on a clean dish towel. Place a thin layer of the ginger/scallion mixture and top with fillet. Roll bottom towards the middle. Fold in both sides and continue rolling. Finish roll and let rest. The top of the package will be the ginger/scallion mixture. Place packages in a steamer lined with a leafy vegetable. Steam for about 8 to 10 minutes. Ladle citrus sauce on small plates and place salmon on top. Garnish with pink peppercorns.
• In a non-reactive pan, combine juices and reduce on low heat by 5 percent. Add the segments, soy sauce and honey and heat. Whisk in the butter. Season to taste and check for seasoning.

STEAMED SALMON WITH GARLIC AND GINGER

Steps:

• To make the flavoring sauce, in a small bowl, combine the sugar, pepper, oyster sauce, and soy sauce and stir to dissolve the sugar. In a small skillet or saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 15 to 20 seconds, or until fragrant. Add the ginger and cook for about 1 minute, or until aromatic and pliant. Pour in the oyster sauce mixture and bring to a boil. Add the chopped scallion, stir to combine, and remove from the heat. Set aside. (The sauce may be prepared up to 4 hours in advance. Let cool, then cover it to prevent it from drying out. Keep at room temperature until ready to use.)
• Select a heatproof plate or nonreactive cake or pie pan 1 inch smaller in diameter than your steamer tray. (Ideally, you will be able to serve the fish from whatever you choose, thus avoiding the need to transfer it to a serving plate.) Set aside a few scallion strips for garnish and scatter the rest on the plate or pan. Arrange the fish on top and pour on the flavoring sauce. Place the plate or pan in the steamer tray.
• Fill the steamer pan half full with water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Place the tray in the steamer, cover, and steam the fish for 8 to 10 minutes, or until a knife inserted at the thickest part easily pierces the flesh all the way to the bottom.
• When the fish is done, turn off the heat. Use pot holders or a Chinese steamer retriever (see Note, opposite) to remove the plate or pan from the steamer (you may find it easier to put the steamer tray on the counter first) and place it on a platter. Or, use 2 wide spatulas to transfer the fish to a warmed serving platter and pour the juices on top. Garnish with the reserved scallion strips and the cilantro and serve immediately.

GINGER STEAMED SALMON

Steps:

• Bring a pan of water to the boil. Finely slice the ginger and lay in the base of a steamer (preferably a bamboo one).
• Squeeze the lemon or lime juice over the salmon, season with salt and sit the fillets on top of the ginger.
• Place the steamer over the water, cover with the lid and cook for 5 minutes or until the fish is cooked. Serve immediately with stir-fried vegetables and noodles or rice.
