Simple steamed salmon

I love trying out new recipes and over time I've gotten the courage to try out some where the list of ingredients is hundreds of meters long and which take ages to cook. To be fair, there haven't been many occasions like that as I prefer to have my meal on the table quite quickly, especially when coming home  hungry after university or when I don't have time to spare to spend in the kitchen because the courseworks need writing and revision needs doing. Despite all the time constraints I have been very careful not to go down to the take-away places or just grabbing something to eat on the go and so far I've succeeded.

Although this recipe is not some sort of culinary masterpiece and does not involve lot of skill nor lot of ingredients for that matter, steamed salmon makes perfect mid-week meal. It's quick and dead easy to make and on top of that it is healthy and filling as well. In addition, steamed salmon makes a perfect base for a more sophisticated meal and it can be served with absolutely anything, starting from vegetables to mashed potatoes to rice, quinoa or just simple leafy salad. And because it is so universal I thought of sharing it with you. If you fancy dress it up with a nice horseradich-crème fraîche sauce or just serve it with some natural yogurt or sour cream or do what most people do - just serve it with a squeeze of lemon. I assure you that no matter what you serve it with or how you serve it the result will always be amazing - a quick, juicy, filling and healthy meal. Bon appétit!
