FAQ – Thai Steamed Salmon

• Do you need to add water to the pan? What steams the salmon?
  • There is no need to add water to the pan. The fish steams inside the parchment paper with cooking the wine or water.
• What pan or pot should I use?
  • It’s best to use a heavy bottomed pan (like a dutch oven or cast iron). This absorbs the heat and prevents the parchment paper from burning. I occasionally also use my stainless steel pan, and it also works well.
• Why is my parchment paper burning?
  • If you turn the stove to medium heat when you begin cooking, you shouldn’t have any issues with the parchment burning. Every stove is different though, but this shouldn’t be an issue if you add the wine or water inside the parchment paper and heat everything gently on medium.
  • If you really want to prevent burning, you can add 1/4 cup of water under the parchment paper / directly to the pan.
