Ingredients
Method
Place salmon fillets, skin side down, on small heatproof plate. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; drizzle with sherry (if using). Set aside.
In small skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add ginger; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add mushrooms and 1 tsp (5 mL) of the soy sauce; fry until softened, about 3 minutes. Scrape over salmon. Arrange red pepper, prosciutto (if using), and green onion over salmon.
Meanwhile, place rack or steamer in wok or shallow pan; pour in enough water to come 1 inch (2.5 cm) below rack. Cover and bring to boil; reduce heat to medium-high.
Place plate on rack; cover and steam until salmon flakes easily when tested, about 12 minutes. Remove from steamer.
Pour liquid from plate into small skillet; cover fish and keep warm. In small bowl, whisk together chicken stock, cornstarch and remaining soy sauce. Whisk into skillet; bring to boil. Cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Pour over salmon. Garnish with coriander sprigs (if using).
