For festive gatherings and special occasions, a fish dish is often a must-have centerpiece of a Chinese feast. For example, steamed fish<\/a> is one of the most popular Chinese New Year recipes<\/a> on my blog. But some of my readers have asked for another recipe using boneless fish filets instead of whole fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today’s recipe, scallion ginger salmon with soy dressing, is a wonderful way to cook fish filet with elements of Chinese cuisine. It’s inspired by the classic Shanghai Scallion Oil Noodles<\/a> and Scallion Oil Chicken<\/a>, which are dressed with a tasty combination of scallion-infused oil and a soy sauce-based dressing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recipe also shows you how to pan-fry salmon to perfection: while the flesh remains tender and the skin side reaches its maximum crispiness.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients & substitutes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Salmon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I often use a big piece of salmon filet for this recipe as I like serving it as a Chinese-style sharing dish. You may also use smaller pieces and serve them individually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter which way, make sure to choose the skin-on filets as the crispy skin is one of the highlights of the dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t fancy salmon?<\/strong> Use other fish as substitutes, such as cod, hake, pollock, halibut, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scallions & ginger<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When fried in oil, these two aromatics release incredible fragrance which is the key factor in the flavor profile of the dish. You may also add some cilantro (coriander) to enhance the taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
