Sunday Roast Alternative - "One Pan" Salmon, potatoes and vegetables
I don't know about you, but I find that a heavy roast beef or lamb dinner is just about the last thing I want to eat in this hot weather, yet sitting down for a family meal of "meat, potatoes and two veg" is a great way of spending quality time with the family.
This meal is an alternative - I use salmon (tuna is an excellent substitute too) as the meat. Its much lighter for the hot months. Also this is very easy to cook if you have a steamer with two layers you only use one pan.
INGREDIENTS
As much fresh mixed vegetables as you can stuff into a steamer (these are all good: sliced carrots, sugar snap peas, peppers cut into strips, broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, spinach, green beans, broad beans, baby sweet corn)
4 skinless and boneless salmon (or tuna) fillets.
1 bag of Charlotte potatoes.
1-2 "Heat up" lemon and parsley sauce packs.
INSTRUCTIONS
Boil a kettle full of water, fill the bottom of your steamer. Put your potatoes in the boiling water. Put the fish on the next layer of the steamer, cram the top layer with vegetables.
Assemble your steamer and put onto the stove at a high heat. Boil for twenty minutes, or until everything is cooked to your satisfaction.
Heat your sauce according to the instructions.
Serve and enjoy!
P.S. It goes really well outside with chilled apple and elderflower juice
