- Serves:

2
ingredients
- 12 ounces salmon fillets (2 pieces) or 12 ounces salmon steaks (2 pieces)
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped
- 1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and grated
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1⁄4 cup dry white wine (or water with lemon)
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, coarsely chopped, for garnish
directions
- In a small non-reactive heavy-bottomed pan, place salmon, skin side down (keeping the skin on makes it easier to remove the salmon from the pan later). Top with 2 tablespoons of coarsely chopped cilantro, the ginger, garlic, wine, and water.
- Cover and simmer, allowing 8 minutes per inch of thickness, until cooked through (when salmon flakes easily with a fork).
- Serve the salmon with pan juices and garnish with remaining 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped cilantro. Side dishes of rice and steamed broccoli will make the colors pop.
