One of our favorite meals is salmon and vegetables. We have this at least once a week. Tom thought of how to cook the salmon, it just melts in your mouth with all this delicious flavor. It seems a little complicated unless you do it in steps. I have written everything out for you.

First prepare the vegetables you are going to eat with your salmon and put them in a steamer and have them cooking while you are preparing your salmon. We usually eat asparagus or fresh beans with the salmon. Make sure you turn your vegetables off when they are done.

Now get all your ingredients you need to prepare your salmon. We like this wild caught (frozen) salmon from Kroger. I thaw two pieces of the salmon ahead of time. Cut four of those smaller carrots, cut 3/4’s of onion, cut one clove garlic, use sprigs of fresh thyme, rosemary, and parsley. I put the amount I use of the thyme and the rosemary from the containers and put them on the counter, the parsley on the counter is what I put in the pan. Now coat your salmon (while you have it on a plate) with olive oil, I like to use my hands. Sprinkle dill (not dill seed), garlic powder, and pepper on the salmon. ( You will use the 3/4 cup of water when cooking, that is explained in the next step).

Now coat your pan with olive oil and put in all your vegetables. Sprinkle just the dill weed over the vegetables. We have the gas on quite high. Your pan will be uncovered at this point. When the vegetables are wilted and a little browned, add your 3/4’s cup water to your vegetables, then put your salmon on top of the vegetables, cover your pan and cook for 3 minutes. Yum, I can smell it in my mind.

Tom likes to put some fresh lemon on his salmon. I don’t, but I like to put fresh lemon in my water. I like to put fresh parsley tops on my salmon while eating. Oh my goodness, just thinking of this, my mouth is starting to water. This is sooo delicious. I’m so happy Tom figured this recipe out! Enjoy!
