.zip Recipes 1: Steamed Salmon

As January rolls along, people are starting to return to college, or for some, may even already have started class. Therefore, I wanted to go back to some simpler recipes like the ones I posted when this blog first started. These .zip Recipes will mostly be quick meals that can be thrown together with little to no prior preparation and use a minimum of pots to cook. This first one only requires 1 saucepot, and only takes about 15 minutes.

-=.zip Recipes: Steamed Salmon=-

3/4 cup rice

1 cup water

chopped cabbage, about 1 cup

1 salmon filet, about 6 oz.

dried herbs, spices

In a medium saucepot, combine the rice and water and swirl around to even out the rice a bit. place the chopped cabbage over the rice, and the salmon on top. Add seasonings to taste (I used garlic salt, rosemary, dill, and paprika) over both the fish and the rice beneath. Cover, and heat on high until the water boils. You should see the steam leaking out from under the lid. Turn the heat down to low, and simmer until liquid is absorbed by the rice and the fish is soft and flaky, about 10 minutes. Move the fish to a plate, and stir the cabbage and rice together, then serve. Quick and easy.
