Prepare the steamer. Place a steamer basket inside a large pot. Add about 1 inch of water, ensuring the water level remains below the bottom of the basket. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.
Steam the edamame. Carefully place the frozen edamame pods into the steamer basket in an even layer. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to medium-high to maintain a steady steam, and cook for 5-7 minutes. The pods will turn a vibrant bright green and the beans inside should be tender-crisp.
Season and serve. Using tongs, carefully transfer the hot edamame to a serving bowl. Immediately sprinkle generously with flaky sea salt and toss to coat evenly. Serve warm with a separate empty bowl on the side for the discarded pods.
