Steamed Salmon with Rice and Broccoli
Steaming is a great way to cook because it doesn’t use any fats. This recipe is a great source of omega-3’s with salmon and is a healthy way to prepare dinner.
Ingredients
2-4 salmon fillets (8 ounces each)
4 lemon slices
2-3 stalks of fresh thyme
1 head broccoli
2 cups white rice
4 1/2 cups vegetable stock
1/2 cucumber, de-seeded and finely chopped
5 radishes, finely chopped
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1
Place the salmon fillets into your steamer and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
2
Place the lemon slices, fresh thyme stocks onto the salmon fillets. If using several salmon fillets, be sure to use extra thyme stalks as needed.
3
Rinse the rice to remove excess starch and place the rice into your rice cooker. The rice cooker I’m using has a steamer basket included with it. If your rice cooker doesn’t have a steamer basket, you will need to to steam the salmon and broccoli separately either in a bamboo steamer or another steamer that you may have.
4
Rinse and cut the broccoli heads into small pieces of broccoli and surround the salmon fillets with the broccoli.
5
Pour the vegetable stock into the the rice cooker (use liquid amounts recommended by the manufacture of your rice cooker) and place the steamer basket on top.
6
Close the lid and cook the rice and steam the salmon at the same time. When the rice is cooked, the salmon will be ready too.
7
While the rice and salmon are cooking, combine the finely chopped cucumber and radishes into a small bowl. Add the soy sauce, apple cider vinegar and olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste and mix together to combine.
8
Serve the steamed salmon with rice and broccoli with the cucumber and radish relish and enjoy!
