  I cooked this in my electric steamer with the veg in the bottom layer and the salmon in the top layer. Really tasty - fresh and zingy.

  This was so easy and delicious. I was a bit skeptical about cooking the salmon in the microwave (seemed a bit sacrilegious!), but I followed the recipe and was really impressed with the result. Only problem with the recipe is the veg quantities. I didn't realize at first, so I used 750g of new potatoes and 750g of peas & beans, and I wondered afterwards why the samlon was so overwhelmed by veg. When I checked the recipe again, I saw the amounts were 750g/1 lb - I think they probably meant 450g/1 lb! Having said that, the leftover veggies were delicious the next day!

  Very tasty with salmon and lemon, 2 of my favourite ingredients together. Was out of mint but used basil instead.

  Quick, easy and very nice. Used frozen broad beans instead of peas which worked just as good. Will definitely do again

  This was the nicest salmon I have eaten for a while: my friend cooked it for me and I would never have known that it was cooked in the microwave. Massive thumbs up. Going to cook it again very soon.

  Do you think this would work if I put the fish and the veg in a foil parcel and bake it in the oven?

  I tried this on an evening where the upboards were particularly bare so used bottled lemon juice and some Coleman's mint sauce in place of the fresh bits - still tasted lovely, and really quick and healthy!

  Changed the method slightly, put Salmon or whole trout in foil with orange or lemon juice & zest, olive oil & mint. wrap into a parcel and put in oven for 20-30 mins depending on size. This is the only way I can get my daughter to eat either salmon or trout. thank you. great with potato wedges cooked in oven at the same time.

  I don't have a microwave so took the foil wrapped option and it worked out great. Rather than the veges and new potatoes suggested here I paired it with the Spanish potatoes (also on this site) and had everything in the oven together with the salmon going in for the last 25 minutes. Will definitely make again.
