Steamed Pesto Salmon is a simple, nutritious dish featuring a salmon fillet coated in pesto and gently steamed to perfection. Served with a side of steamed green vegetables such as broccoli, courgettes, and asparagus, this meal is light, healthy, and packed with flavour. The gentle steaming method preserves the natural moisture and tenderness of the salmon while maintaining the vibrant nutrients of the vegetables. For an extra boost, melt a little butter or coconut oil over the greens to enhance nutrient absorption. Ready in just 12 minutes, it’s an easy and delicious option for a balanced meal.
