Healthy Hints
Steaming helps to preserve flavour and nutrients. In this recipe there is no need for added fat as oily fish like salmon have plenty of moisture. Reduced salt soy sauce provides all the taste with less sodium.

4. Slice pak choi lenghtways into four and place in steamer on top of fish.
