Salmon Steamed over Orange-basil Tomato Sauce
"I've never had much luck with cooking fish. This recipe, however, was a delight. I had no idea you could steam fish directly on food. The result is a flaky, light delicious dish that I would recommend to all fish lovers. The recipe was obtained from the book, "Amazing Food Tips and Cooking Hints." I am passing it onto you verbatim, though I'd recommend using only half of the orange zest."

Hi Zaar Friends! A little about me: I live in Denver, CO and work for a college as a Career Development Advisor. I love my job because I get to see students develop self-esteem and value as they grow and pursue their dreams. I love to read, travel, and learn. I love animals. My favorite cookbook right now is the America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook. If you follow the recipe directions, there is no way you can mess it up. Great for beginners and seasoned chefs alike.
