Steamed salmon fillets is a second course. It's easy-to-do and quick. Ideal for everyone who likes light cooking.
Its ingredients are: salmon fillets, chives and good-quality olive oil.
Here's the recipe as Carlo and I make at our home.

Steam the salmon. Steam the salmon for about 20 minutes or until tender.

Season the salmon. Arrange the salmon fillets on the plates, sprinkle with chopped chives. Season to taste with salt and spoon the olive oil.
Serve at once.

Note

- You can flavor the steaming water with chives or the aromatic herbs you prefer.
- Accompany the steamed salmon fillets with seasonal vegetables. In the photo you can see broccoli. Other vegetables can be: artichokes, bell peppers, brussels sprouts ...

Healthy eating

- It is wrong to accompany the salmon with pulses. As you can see salmon is a source of protein as pulses are. Unfortunately in Italian cuisine but also all over the world there are a lot of recipes in which meat or fish are combined with pulses. Make this combination seldom if you follow an healthy diet.

What's the right wine ?

Our suggestion is: Collio Pinot Grigio (white wine of Friuli) or Nuragus of Cagliari (white wine of Sardinia)
