Method

To make steamed salmon, fill a large pot with plenty of water and add 1 or 2 lemon slices and a few sprigs of parsley.
When the water is close to boiling, set the steamer basket on top with the salmon steaks and some well-cleaned broccoli inside. Cover the basket with its lid and cook for 15 to 20 minutes.
Once cooked, take out the salmon steaks, plate them with the broccoli, drizzle with a little olive oil, and season lightly with salt. Your steamed salmon is now ready to serve and enjoy. Finally, remember to download our App with exclusive content and fewer ads!

Thermomix Steamed Salmon

If you like, you can make your steamed salmon in the Thermomix: simply place the salmon fillets in the Varoma (after lining the bottom with a sheet of parchment paper that you’ve dampened and squeezed out well), drizzle them with a little olive oil, add some parsley and, if you like, a finely chopped garlic clove.

Fill the Thermomix bowl with 1 liter of water and cook for 20 minutes at Varoma temperature, 100 °C (212 °F), on speed 1.

Tips

If you use a bamboo steamer basket, we recommend lining it with a savoy cabbage leaf so it doesn’t absorb too much of the smell of the fish.

Storage

You can store steamed salmon in the refrigerator for a couple of days in an airtight container.
