I think one of the easiest ways to cook salmon is to wrap it up in foil and stick it in the oven. You get a tender fish that's moist and flavorful. I like using light soy sauce as the poaching liquid and then finishing it with some ginger scallion oil.
Ingredients:
The fish:6 oz filets
Fresh ginger root, peeled and sliced
Scallions; 1 stalk trimmed and halved per salmon fillet.
kosher salt
pepper
The sauce:
1/2 cup fancy dark soy sauce
freshly grated ginger
1/2 bunch chopped scallions (reserve 1/3 for topping)
1/2 c canola oil
2 tbsp oyster sauce
Directions:
- Place a filet in the center of a piece of foil.
- Sprinkle some kosher salt on the fish and top with pieces of ginger and lengths of scallion.
- Drizzle about 1 tbsp of soy sauce over the fish, then wrap the foil into a loose pouch. There should be room in the pouch for the liquid to steam the fish.
- Place in a 325° oven for 20 min. Meanwhile, make the sauce
- In bowl, place grated ginger, oyster sauce, soy sauce and chopped scallions. Mix ingredients together until the sauce is one consistency.
- Heat oil in small pan until it's right above the smoking point, then quickly pour hot oil into bowl with the other sauce ingredients. Stir.
- Remove from oven and let stand 5 min. Remove fish from packets and plate over rice or beds of greens.
- Spoon sauce over fish and top with scallions right before serving.
