Steam Salmon W Blackbean Sauce Recipes

STEAMED FISH WITH BLACK BEAN SAUCE

Steps:

• If using a whole fish, make 3 deep diagonal slashes on each side of the fish.
• Chop the black beans; place half of the black beans, scallions, and ginger on a heat-proof plate that can be used in the steamer; place the fish on top.
• Sprinkle fish with the sugar, then pour the sherry or rice wine, soy sauce and oil on top; cover the fish with remaining black beans, scallions and ginger.
• For steaming I use my electric wok and place 2 chopsticks next to each other in one direction and 2 more next to each other in the opposite direction, creating a platform.
• Place the plate of fish on top of the steamer, over briskly boiling water, cover and steam 10 minutes for thick fillets, 20 minutes for whole fish and less than 10 minutes for thinner fillets.
• fish is finished when fillets flake easily or when a chopstick will easily pierce the gill area on whole fish.
• Remove to a platter and garnish with cilantro.
• Serve over steamed jasmine rice and make sure to spoon the black bean sauce over the whole thing; YUM.

SALMON WITH BLACK BEAN SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a shallow roasting pan. Combine 1/2 cup boiling water and the chopped beans in a small bowl; set aside for 10 minutes, then drain.
• 2. Meanwhile, arrange the salmon in the roasting pan, skinned side down. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the oil over the salmon and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until cooked to your desired doneness.
• 3. Meanwhile, heat 2 teaspoons oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the soaked and drained black beans, the ginger, and garlic; cook for 1 minute. Whisk together the broth, 1/3 cup water, the wine, cornstarch, and sugar in a bowl and add to the black bean mixture. Bring the sauce to a boil, stirring constantly, and simmer for 2 minutes. Serve each portion of salmon topped with some of the sauce and sprinkled with some of the scallions.

SAKE SALMON WITH BLACK BEAN SAUCE

• Meanwhile, combine the ginger and sake in a small saucepan over high heat and boil until the liquor is reduced by two-thirds. Gradually whisk the butter chunks into the sake until the mixture thickens into a sauce.
• Place the black beans in a small sieve and rinse well under cold running water. Stir them into the sauce along with the soy sauce. Keep the sauce warm until the salmon is cooked.
• To serve, transfer the cooked steaks onto individual serving plates. Spoon the sake sauce over each one, then sprinkle the scallions on top.
