Servings

2 people

Ingredients

2 x 150g salmon fillets, de-scaled

Chilli Bean, Garlic and Ginger Oil

2 garlic cloves, finely diced
a large knob of ginger, finely diced
1 spring onion, finely diced
½ tablespoon chilli bean sauce
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon granulated sugar
¾ tablespoon vegetable oil

Method

Preparation

p>1. For the chilli bean, garlic and ginger oil, mix together all the ingredients apart from the vegetable oil in a heatproof bowl.

2. Heat the vegetable oil in a wok until smoking, then pour over the rest of the chilli ginger oil ingredients to sizzle. Stir together well and set aside.

3. Place the fish fillets on a suitable plate for steaming.

Cooking

4. Set the wok up with a steamer stand and fill with boiling water a third to halfway up the sides.

5. Place the fish fillet plate into the wok, cover with a lid and steam for 8–10 minutes, until the fish is cooked. (To test this, poke a toothpick into the thickest part of each fillet – if the toothpick goes through without any struggle, the fish is ready to serve.)

6. Remove the plate from the wok and spoon over the chilli bean, garlic and ginger oil to coat the fish fillets well. Serve.
