Dinner Tonight - Steamed Salmon with Fresh Veggies (01/07/2009)

I joined the local LA Fitness gym in Brandon on today (01/07/2009), and in honor of it, wanted to have something healthy for dinner. Before heading over to finalize the papers, I took out a flash frozen salmon filet that we got at Costco (we absolutely LOVE their frozen seafood, and highly recommend it over some of the seafood that can be purchased at the grocery store) and let it defrost in our refrigerator.

Around 6:00pm, I took down my Emeril Lagasse by T-Fal steamer (the one I got from HSN around the holidays), and filled the resevoir with water. I then opened one package of Eat Smart Vegetable Medley (Carrots, Broccoli, and Cauliflower), and put it in one of the steamer baskets). I then seasoned the fish with 1/2 t. Kosher salt, 1/4 t. 5 color peppercorn blend, and 1/2 t.dill, and placed that on top of 1 T. of olive oil that was drizzled on the top level of the steamer. I then placed the lid on top of the fish, set the timer for 15 minutes, and walked away.

15 minutes later, the above picture was ready, and once again, I had another amazing healthy meal at home.

Here is the recipe in case anyone wants to make this at home:

1 6-8 oz salmon filet (either fresh or frozen)
1/2 t. Kosher Salt
1/4 t. freshly ground 5 color peppercorn blend
1/4 t. dill weed
1 T. olive oil
1 package Eat Smart Vegetable Medley

1. Open the one package of Eat Smart Vegetable Medley, and place in a steamer basket. Place the steamer basket over 1/2 C. water in an uncovered saucepot, and steam for about 5 minutes or until crunchy.
2. Rinse and pat dry the fish. In a separate bowl, add the oil and seasonings, and quickly toss the fish in the mixture.
3. Place the fish in a second steamer basket over 1/2 C. water in another uncovered saucepot, and steam for about 15 minutes or until flakey.
4. Plate up and enjoy!
