Number Of Ingredients 7

4 pieces skinless, boneless salmon, each cut into equal-size squares or rectangles and each weighing about 1/2 pound
1 tablespoon butter at room temperature
Salt to taste if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 cup lemon-hazelnut butter sauce (see recipe)
1/2 cup chopped or shredded edible flower petals or fresh herbs such as chives or parsley

Steps:

  • Bring about 2 inches of water to a boil in the bottom of a steamer. Rub the bottom (skinned side) of each salmon piece with butter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
