How to Steam Salmon from Frozen

April 10th, 2024

Steaming Salmon from Frozen for Quick, Healthy Meals

Steaming salmon from frozen is a cooking method that uses moist heat to prepare a quick, healthy meal. But because steaming works so quickly, you’ll need to keep a close eye on the doneness to ensure that the fillet doesn’t overcook. Check the fish at the lower end of the time range suggested, adding more time as needed.

You can keep this method very simple by using plain water to steam salmon from frozen, but replacing water or adding in other ingredients will infuse the fillet with different flavors. Adding lemon slices or white wine to the steaming liquid can enhance the fish with bright aromas. Steaming with vegetable stock will add subtle richness to the fillet. 

Simple Tips for Steamed Salmon from Frozen

  • Check internal cooking temperature early and often to avoid overcooking. 

  • Include fragrant ingredients like wine or lemon in the steaming liquid for a flavor infusion.

  • For best results, DON’T rinse the ice glaze off the salmon before cooking.

How to Steam Salmon from Frozen

Gather your materials and ingredients: Your fillet(s), large sauté pan, steamer rack, salt and pepper, spatula. 

1. Fill a large sauté pan with about an inch of water and place your steamer rack inside the pot. Bring water to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

2. Place frozen salmon directly on rack, making sure water does not touch the fillet. Salt and pepper the salmon and allow to cook, covered, for 5 to 9 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 120F to 125F.
