Easy Japanese Steamed Salmon Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 (1 pound) salmon side, bones removed with pliers
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon dried minced onion
• 1 tablespoon mirin (Japanese sweet wine)
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Instructions

1. Cut the salmon side into quarters or halves; set aside for steaming.
2. In a large, heavy pot, combine chicken broth, ginger, soy sauce, minced onion, mirin, and sesame oil. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer.
3. Place a steamer insert into the pot and arrange the salmon in a single layer. Cover the pot and steam for 5 to 7 minutes, checking for doneness. Transfer the salmon to a platter to keep warm. Remove the steamer insert.
4. Boil the broth mixture until it reduces to a sauce-like consistency, about 2 to 4 minutes. Spoon the reduced sauce generously over the steamed salmon.
