Ginger-Green Onion Steamed Salmon

Light, aromatic, and beautifully nourishing, this Ginger–Green Onion Steamed Salmon is a dish that celebrates clean flavours and gentle cooking. Steaming allows the salmon to stay tender and moist while preserving its natural richness, making this recipe both comforting and elegant. Fragrant ginger and fresh green onions infuse the fish with warmth and freshness, while a simple tamari-based sauce brings everything together without overpowering the delicate texture of the salmon.

This dish fits perfectly into a gluten-free lifestyle and is ideal for those who enjoy meals that feel light yet deeply satisfying. Rich in protein and healthy fats, steamed salmon supports energy, brain health, and satiety, while the accompanying aromatics aid digestion and balance. It’s a wonderful option for weeknight dinners, meal prep, or when you want a nourishing meal that’s easy on the body but full of flavour.

Ingredient Benefits

Salmon
Salmon is an excellent source of high-quality protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which support brain health, heart health, and help reduce inflammation. It is also rich in vitamin D and B vitamins, supporting energy production and immune function.

Green onions
Green onions provide antioxidants and natural plant compounds that support immune health. They add freshness and mild sharpness while being gentle on digestion.

Fresh ginger
Ginger is well known for its digestive and anti-inflammatory properties. It can help reduce bloating, support circulation, and add warming depth to the dish.

Tamari
Tamari is a gluten-free alternative to soy sauce that provides deep umami flavour. It enhances taste while allowing the use of less seasoning overall, supporting balanced sodium intake.

Coconut sugar
Coconut sugar adds gentle sweetness and contains trace minerals. Used in small amounts, it helps balance savoury flavours without the sharp blood sugar spikes of refined sugar.
