Top Tips for Perfecting Your Steamed Salmon

• Salmon Quality: Always choose fresh, high-quality salmon fillets for the best flavor and texture. If the skin is on, it can help keep the salmon moist during steaming.
• Flavor Variations: You can experiment with different herbs and spices in the salsa for various flavors. Consider adding cilantro, parsley, or a dash of chili flakes for a spicy kick.
• Check for Doneness: To check if your salmon is done, use a fork to gently separate the flesh along the grain. If it flakes easily and appears opaque throughout, it’s ready. Remember, it’s better to undercook than overcook, as the salmon will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the heat.
• Balsamic Quality: Use high-quality balsamic vinegar in your salsa for the best flavor. The quality can greatly affect the outcome.
• Serve Immediately: This dish is best served hot right after cooking to savor the full flavors and textures of the salmon and salsa.

How To Store Steamed Salmon

Storing Leftovers in the Fridge: Leftover Salmon and Tomato Salsa can be safely stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Place the salmon and salsa in separate, airtight containers once they’ve cooled to room temperature to maintain freshness.

Freezing Leftovers: For a longer shelf life, freeze the salmon and salsa separately. They can be stored in the freezer for a maximum of 3 months. Be sure to thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.

Reheating Leftovers: For reheating, steam the salmon gently or use the microwave until it’s adequately warmed. Try not to overheat to prevent it from drying out. The salsa can be served chilled or slightly warmed according to your taste.
