Ingredients

1 lb salmon fillet, cut into 4 pieces (1-1/4 lbs and 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick)
2 teaspoons low sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons scallions, finely chopped
2 teaspoons fresh gingerroot, minced
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Preparation

In a large saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, bring 3/4\" of water to a boil.
Coat a steamer basket with no-stick spray.
Place the salmon, skin side down, in the basket and brush the top surface with 1 teaspoon of the soy sauce.
Sprinkle with 1-1/2 tablespoons of the scallions.
Carefully set the basket in the saucepan, making sure the basket sits above the water.
Cover and steam for 4 to 7 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily when tested with a fork.
Transfer the salmon, skin-side down, to a serving platter or individual plates.
Drizzle with the remaining 1 teaspoon soy sauce.
Then sprinkle with the ginger, pepper and remaining 1-1/2 tablespoons scallions.
