Oven-steamed salmon with soy sauce and limes

on

Today I'd like to share a recipe for a salmon oven-steamed over soy sauce and limes.

 

This is not only a healthy, effortless lunch idea - this dish also gives you all the flavour without the all-permeating fish smell. Salmon is delicate - it essentially melts in your mouth. Limes and ginger are refreshing, while chili and, of course, also ginger bring a bit of pleasant heat. 

You'll find the list of ingredients, method and approximate nutritional value below.

List of ingredients

  • 6 salmon fillets (6 x 130 g)
  • 1 thumb-sized piece (~30 g) fresh ginger
  • 2 chili peppers (~40 g)
  • Bunch of fresh coriander
  • 1/4 cup (50 ml) soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup (100 ml) water
  • 3 small limes (~190 g) + 2 limes for decoration

Method

  1. Remove seeds and stems from chili peppers; chop them up into thin strips.
  2. Peel and julienne a piece of fresh ginger, roughly a size of a thumb.
  3. Finely chop fresh coriander.
  4. Cut a couple of limes into 2-3 mm slices. Reserve two more limes for decoration.
  5. Put lime slices into the bottom of an ovenproof dish. Place salmon fillets on top; keep a bit of distance between them to let steam escape.
  6. Mix together soy sauce and water (1 part soy sauce to 2 parts water). Pour liquid on top of salmon fillets and let it cover the bottom of the dish. Fillets should not be submerged in liquid.
  7. Place ginger pieces on top of salmon fillets and between them. Scatter chili and chopped coriander on top. Tightly cover the dish with aluminum foil.
  8. Bake the fish in a conventional oven preheated to 200 deg C for 30-40 minutes.
  9. Take ready salmon out of the oven and set it aside for 5 minutes to cool slightly. 
  10. Serve the dish with your favourite starch - I used rice this time. Pour a tablespoon of sauce on top of salmon for extra flavour, scatter some coriander and chili slices on top and decorate with fresh lime.
  11. Enjoy!
