- 1 1/2 pounds skinless salmon fillet
- 1 cup plain low-fat yogurt

Directions

In a large skillet with a tight-fitting lid, pour 1/2 inch water; bring to a boil, and season generously with salt. Add green beans and carrots. Return water to a simmer, cover skillet, and steam until vegetables are crisp-tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a colander; rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.

Rinse skillet with cold water to cool it down. Place salmon in skillet, and add cold water to cover; season with salt. Bring water to a boil over high heat; cover skillet, and remove from heat. Set aside until salmon is opaque throughout, about 20 minutes. Remove from skillet, and let cool.

Break salmon into large pieces; serve with vegetables and yogurt sauce. Garnish with cilantro, if desired.
This was OK for a fast fish recipe, but I far prefer salmon grilled, or baked, with or without sauce.
I have been making this for a couple of years now, and LOVE it! it is my favorite "go-to" for a quick and easy salmon recipe. I usually do just the salmon part, and something different for the veggies. The sauce is also good for chicken, and so fast!
After my husband and I devoured a batch of Martha's chocolate scones (...which are absolutely DIVINE, by the way...) I figured I had to make something healthy for once. :) This is quite good. Some people might not care for the yogurt sauce, as it is quite spicy, but you could easily just prepare the salmon and veggies.
