Gather @vegetable oil{4%tbsp}.

Lay the sliced @ginger{30%g} over a heatproof plate that fits inside your steamer and set the @salmon{4} fillets on top.

Steam over briskly boiling water for 8–10 minutes until the salmon just turns opaque and flakes at the thickest part. ~{9%minutes}

Meanwhile warm the @soy sauce{3%tbsp} with the @sugar{0.5%tsp} in a small pan until the sugar dissolves.

Lift the salmon from the steamer, discard the spent ginger, and pat the plate dry of excess liquid.

Pile the julienned ginger and @spring onion{5%stalk} threads over each fillet.

Heat the oil in a small saucepan until just smoking, then pour it hissing over the ginger and scallion so they curl and turn fragrant.

Spoon the warm soy sauce around the fish and serve immediately.
