Best Steamed Salmon With Lemon Hazelnut Butter Recipes

STEAMED SALMON

Steps:

• Set the steamer inside your cooking pan and add enough water to just reach the bottom of the steamer. Remove the steamer and set aside.
• Add the grated garlic, lemon slices and fresh dill sprigs to the water. Place the lid on the pan and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer while preparing the salmon fillets.
• If your salmon has a thick end and a thin end, you can either slice off the thin end and use for another dish or fold the thin end underneath to make it equal to the thick portion. Season the salmon fillets with salt and fresh ground black pepper.
• Spray the steamer with non-stick oil spray and place inside the pan of water. Check the water level to ensure the water does not touch the steamer. Add the salmon fillets and place a tight-fitting lid on the pan and maintain a strong simmer.
• Steam the fish for 5-minutes, remove the lid then using the tip of a sharp knife, check the salmon for doneness in the thickest part of the fish. It should be opaque on the outside and just a little translucent in the center and gives slightly when you press it. That is medium-rare and perfect!
• An instant meat thermometer will read between 120°F and 125° for medium-rare. Between 125°F and 140°F, it's medium to well-done.
• When the salmon fillets have reached the desired temperature remove the pan from the heat and transfer the salmon to individual plates and serve immediately, garnished with lemon wedges and fresh dill.

DANNY CHAN'S STEAMED SALMON WITH LEMON

Steps:

• Thoroughly rinse the fish in cold water and pat dry. Put the fillets in a 9-inch shallow heatproof bowl. Drizzle the soy sauce, salt and pepper over the salmon. Sprinkle with the scallions and ginger. Cut the lemon in half crosswise. Cut half a lemon into 4 slices and put on the fish. Juice the remaining lemon and drizzle over the fish.
• Put a 1-inch-high steamer rack in a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok. Add water to a depth of 3/4 inch and bring to a boil over high heat. Carefully put the bowl on the rack, cover, and steam for 8 to 10 minutes. Test the fish for doneness by poking the thickest party with a chopstick or fork; the fish should flake. If not, steam 1 to 2 minutes or until the fish just flakes. Be sure to check the water level from time to time and replenish if necessary, with boiling water. Carefully remove the bowl from the wok. Drizzle the sesame oil over the fillets.

• Spoon an equal portion of the sauce on the bottom of each of four plates. Place one piece of salmon in the center of each plate and sprinkle with chopped flower petals or herbs and coarsely chopped hazelnuts.

BUTTER-BASTED SALMON WITH HAZELNUT RELISH

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. Toast hazelnuts on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, 6-8 minutes. Let cool.
• Pulse garlic, cilantro, parsley, capers, lemon zest, and 1/4 cup hazelnuts in a food processor until finely chopped. With machine running, gradually add olive oil; season relish with salt. Coarsely chop remaining hazelnuts.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Season salmon with salt and cook, skin side down, until skin is crisp (do not disturb), about 4 minutes. Add butter and cook, basting constantly, 1 minute. Transfer to oven and roast salmon, basting once, until medium-rare (mostly opaque but still slightly translucent in the center), about 3 minutes.
• Serve salmon, skin side up, with lettuce, topped with relish and chopped hazelnuts.
• Do ahead: Relish can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover and chill.
