Ingredients
2 fresh salmon fillets (6 oz each)
1 head broccoli, cut into florets
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 small cucumber, sliced
1 carrot, julienned
2 tbsp olive oil
Juice of ½ lemon
1 garlic clove, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional garnish: fresh dill or parsley
Instructions
1. Wash and cut all vegetables. Toss broccoli, tomatoes, cucumber, and carrot in a bowl with olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
2. Pat salmon dry. Drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon.
3. Set up a steamer or a heat-proof plate in a pot with 1-inch boiling water. Place salmon skin-side down, cover, and steam 8–10 minutes until tender.
4. Add the seasoned veggie medley to the steamer. Steam alongside salmon for the last 5 minutes—veg should be crisp-tender.
5. Arrange salmon and veggies on plates. Garnish with fresh dill or parsley. Enjoy warm!
Notes
For flaky salmon, avoid over-steaming.
Rotate veggie basket halfway for even cooking.
Use fresh, not frozen, salmon for best taste.
