Ingredients (for 2 people)

• 2 wild salmon loins
• 1/2 onion
• 1/2 green pepper
• 1/2 red pepper
• 2 sprigs of rosemary
• Salt
• Ground black pepper
• Extra virgin olive oil

For the teriyaki sauce:

• 75 ml soy sauce
• 30 ml of rice vinegar
• 20 g brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 30 ml of water
• 5 ml sesame oil (optional)

Elaboration

1. Using a mandolin or, failing that, a sharp knife, thinly slice the onion, green pepper and red pepper. Divide the vegetables into two, one for each serving.
2. We take a sheet of greaseproof paper and place half of the vegetables we have reserved for one serving in the centre. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Place the salmon fillet on top of the vegetables, skin side down, season with salt and pepper and brush with extra virgin olive oil. Cover with the other half of the vegetables and season with salt and pepper again.
4. We repeat the operation with the rest of the vegetables and the second salmon loin.
5. Make two packets with the greaseproof paper, sealing them as tightly as possible so that the juices do not escape during cooking. Place each packet on one of the two trays of the bamboo steamer * and close with the lid.
6. Heat some water in a frying pan or saucepan of the same diameter as the steamer and, when it starts to generate steam, place it on top. Steam for 12-14 minutes.
7. We remove the packets from the steamer, plate and serve immediately, accompanying the salmon fillets with homemade teriyaki sauce.

*You can also make this recipe in an electric steamer or in a pressure cooker , in the Vitalis pot or with an adaptable steamer .

Teriyaki sauce

1. Place all the ingredients in the glass of a hand blender and blend until you get a fine sauce.
2. We transfer the mixture to a small saucepan and cook over low heat until it thickens, stirring occasionally with a whisk to prevent lumps from forming.
