Monday Menu: Steamed Salmon and Carrots

Quick and Easy fish and carrots over purple jasmine rice.

Over a pot of water on simmer, a plate of julienned carrots and a plate of center-cut salmon portions drizzled with bagna cauda are set for 15 minutes. Why bagna cauda? It was left over from a party, and so I thought, "Why not!"

Carrots are done.

(Note all the garlic)

Fifteen minutes was a bit too long for the fish, it should have come off at 11 or 12 minutes.


Subtle garlic flavor enhances the salmon and the sweetness of the carrots. It was all done so quickly, and in spite of the fish being done more than we like, it was still moist and delicious. Healthy fish? Well, that is EVOO - so, I'm calling it healthy!
