Salmon Steak in Ginger Sauce

As usual, I don’t really know what I’ll cook until I step into the kitchen and check out what I have in the kitchen. I bought this piece of salmon last weekend and felt like some fish for dinner tonight, so time to experiment!

Although most people like their salmon just cooked on the outside and still pink on the inside, I like all my fish to be fully cooked. So, I’ve decided to cook this Chinese style. Really easy to make and good to see VIP enjoyed it very much.

By the way, the deco on the side of the plate which looks like 2 green roses are the stem of “siew pak choy”. I was cutting the vegetables and thought they looked so pretty, so I kept 2 just to ‘accompany’ the salmon. :)

Ingredients:
Salmon
Garlic
Onion
Ginger
*Mince ginger, garlic and onion*
Oil
Salt
Sugar
Chinese Cooking Wine
Black Pepper
Dark Soy Sauce (optional)
Water


Method:
1. Sprinkle some black pepper on both sides of the salmon. Pan fry salmon on a non-stick pan until both sides are brown and fish is almost cooked.
2. Push fish to the side of the pan.
3. Mix minced ginger, garlic and onion with salt, sugar and oil. Pour this in the pan and stir fry until fragrant.
4. Add in cooking wine and dark soy sauce (optional).
5. Add in some water and cook the fish in the sauce.
6. Let it simmer until sauce thickens.
7. Dish up. Goes really well with white rice!
