Fish, Quick & Easy

Healthy Steamed Salmon with Mushrooms


I usually pan-fry my salmon fillet but I got tired of it. So I tried steaming the salmon one day and it was so good. I usually prepare the ingredients in the foil a day beforehand. On the day itself, I just need to add lemon juice and steam it. Super easy for lazy busy people. Not only that, it’s super healthy and delicious too. All the goodness like the steam juice captured inside the sealed foil… ohh heavenly.

Let’s steammmmm!!!

Prepare a large enough aluminium foil for the salmon and put in on a flat surface or plate.

Ready For Steaming
Place salmon on the foil. Add mushrooms, cilantro, garlic, shallot and red chilies surrounding the fish. Sprinkle salt and pepper and drizzle with lemon juice.

Seal The Foil
Seal up the foil nicely and steam for 15-20 minutes. Serve warm. So easy right?

    Believe it or not I have not pan fry salmon before! I baked them or steam it in the oven like how you wrap the fillet with foil. If salmon is not that expensive I would have it every week! 😀
