Steamed Maine Salmon
Directions
- Season the inside of a a whole salmon with salt and pepper.
- Wrap the salmon in a double layer of cheesecloth.
- Add two cups of water to a large roasting pan.
- Place the salmon on a cooking rack.
- Place the rack on top of the roasting pan and cover.
- Steam the fish in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through.
- The skin will adhere to the cheesecloth when you remove it.
- You need only to gently flake the salmon from the bones.
- Serve the boneless salmon on a hot platter.
- I like to drizzle melted clarified butter or melted herb buter over the fish just before serving.
- Garnish with lemon wedges and parsley.
- Great served with fiddleheads (or asparagus) and fresh rolls.
