Steamed Salmon with Tofu

Steaming fish is one of the most popular home-cooked methods, preserving the natural flavors of the ingredients while offering a healthy, low-oil dish. This simple Steamed Salmon with Tofu features rich, tender salmon that becomes silky after steaming, while the soft tofu underneath absorbs all the sweet fish juices and savory soy sauce, making it the absolute best companion for a bowl of white rice.

Christine used the quickest method today by placing the salmon directly on top of the tofu to steam together, finishing with a drizzle of hot oil to sizzle and release the aroma of the scallions. It’s a simple, quick, and flavorful home-style dish, and I hope you'll enjoy this comforting recipe as well.
