4 Servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
2Green onions -- sliced
1poundsSalmon fillet -- 1\" thick
2tablespoonsDry white wine
¼teaspoonSalt
teaspoonWhite pepper -- ground
1tablespoonFresh tarragon

Directions

1. Choose a decorative heatproof plate that will fit into the steaming vessel. Scatter the green onions over the bottom of the plate. Lay salmon fillet over green onions, skin side down, folding the tail section under, if necessary to fit the plate. Sprinkle salmon with the wine, then with the salt and pepper, and finally with the tarragon leaves.

2. Bring water in steamer to a rolling boil. Remove the cover, opening it away from you to let the steam dissipate a little, then place the plate on the steaming rack. Cover and cook until the center of the fish is just done, about 10 minutes. 3. Serve the fish from the platter, spooning a little of the liquid from the plate over the top of each serving.
