Steamed Salmon with Creamy Dill Sauce

Steaming is a beautiful method for cooking salmon. The creamy dill sauce compliments the steamed salmon beautifully and the vegetables cook effortlessly along side the salmon in the steamer. An amazing meal is not often this easy.

Ingredients

2 wild salmon fillets
1 ½ cups mixed vegetables (such as broccoli, baby carrots, cauliflower or asparagus)
For the sauce:
¼ cup cream cheese
1 tbsp honey
1 ½ tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tsp fresh baby dill (finely chopped)
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Place salmon fillets in a steaming basket or tray. Steam for 3 minutes and then add the vegetables to the basket with the salmon.
Steam for an additional 4-5 minutes. (For smaller steaming baskets, steam salmon for 8 minutes and vegetables for 4 minutes separately) Set aside.

Whisk in lemon juice. If the mixture is lumpy, microwave for an additional 15 seconds and whisk until sauce is creamy
