This recipe offers a delightful way to enjoy salmon, paired with a flavorful ginger soy glaze and crisp snap peas.
In a small bowl, mix the lime juice, soy sauce, scallions, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil to create the glaze.
Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor.
Rub the salmon fillets with a small amount of the prepared glaze.
Let the salmon sit for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.
Arrange the salmon fillets in a steamer basket.
Ensure the fillets are not overlapping for even cooking.
Fill a saucepan with about 2 inches of water and bring it to a boil. Place the steamer basket over the saucepan, cover, and steam the salmon for 8 minutes.
Keep the lid on to maintain the steam and cook the salmon evenly.
Add the snap peas to the steamer basket with the salmon and steam for an additional 4 minutes until the peas are tender-crisp.
Avoid overcooking the snap peas to retain their vibrant color and crunch.
Arrange the snap peas on serving plates, place the salmon on top, and drizzle with the remaining glaze.
Garnish with additional chopped scallions or sesame seeds for a finishing touch.
