For steaming, we recommend using very fresh or fully defrosted fish. It is better to give preference to healthy sea fish, which has fewer bones, has a denser texture, and does not fall apart when heated, as it happens with freshwater, river fish. Mackerel, pike-perch, herring, cod, pollock, tilapia, sturgeon, halibut, hake, whiting, sterlet, burbot, beluga, and sea bass steamed are especially delicious. It is desirable to cook pike and salmon in another way (in the oven, on the grill, or in a pan).

Diet steamed fish is an uncomplicated and affordable dish, which is easy to prepare in a special steamer, multicooker, and even in the microwave. Such a steamed dish can be made not only with clean drinking water but also with a rich fish broth, strained with gauze or a sieve. Fish with a pungent odor, such as merlusa or hake, is better cooked in water mixed with a small amount of brew or a good strong tea without additional flavors and aromas. The main thing is to properly prepare the fillets and follow the proportions specified in the recipe.

Steamed pink salmon in the multicooker is a healthy dish that is easy to make with only 3 ingredients in 25 minutes. Useful pink salmon, which is called pink salmon, contains a lot of iodine, so it is recommended to introduce it in the diet for thyroid disorders. The dish will be even more flavorful if you add aromatic herbs, such as tarragon, peppermint, thyme, or sprigs of parsley, which go well with the fish. You can use orange or grapefruit instead of lemon to give the pink salmon a refined, slightly sweet taste.
Ingredients:
- pink salmon – 250 g;
- rosemary – 1 sprig;
- lemon – 1 slice.
Method of preparation:
Dry the pink salmon well with a paper towel.
Put it on the foil.
Crush a slice of lemon in your hands. Drizzle sea fish fillets with freshly squeezed lemon juice.
Put a sprig of rosemary or any other aromatic herb on top.
Carefully place the fillets in the basket of the multicooker.
The edges of the foil fold upward so that the preparation resembles a shallow plate. If necessary, you can do without foil, but then the flavorful juice will simply drain to the bottom of the container of the multicooker. If all the juices remain in the foil, they will further soak the pink salmon fillets and make the fish even more tender, juicy and flavorful.
Set the mode “Steam cooking”.
Cook the pink salmon fillets for 20 minutes.
If desired, the pink salmon can be completely wrapped in banana leaves, foil, or parchment paper. In this case, the salmon will be even juicier. Such fillets are served immediately after cooking without unwrapping.
