I've never had much luck with cooking fish. This recipe, however, was a delight. I had no idea you could steam fish directly on food. The result is a flaky, light delicious dish that I would recommend to all fish lovers. The recipe was obtained from the book, Amazing Food Tips and Cooking Hints. I am passing it onto you verbatim, though I'd recommend using only half of the orange zest. Ingredients:
4 pieces skinless salmon fillets (1/4 lb each) |
1 small chopped onion |
2 minced garlic cloves |
1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest |
1/2 cup white wine |
1/2 cup orange juice |
4 chopped canned plum tomatoes |
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil |
4 basil leaves |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. In a large, deep skillet over medium heat, cook onion, garlic, and orange zest in orange juice and white wine until liquid is reduced to 1/4 cup.
2. Add 4 chopped canned plum tomatoes, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp ground black pepper. Sprinkle salmon fillets with another 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper and 1 tsp olive oil. Top each fish with 1 basil leaf and place on simmering sauce. Cover and steam until fish is opaque, 8 minutes.
