Instructions

1.
Prepare the Potatoes: Place potatoes in a pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and set aside.
2.
Steam the Salmon: While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the salmon. Place a steamer basket inside a pot with about 1 inch of water. Bring the water to a boil. Place the salmon fillets in the steamer basket, cover, and steam for 8-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
3.
Make the Garlic Butter: While the salmon is steaming, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4.
Prepare the Italian Salad: In a medium bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.
5.
Assemble and Serve: Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the steamer basket. Place the cooked potatoes on plates. Top with the steamed salmon. Drizzle the garlic butter sauce over the salmon. Serve immediately with the Italian salad and lemon wedges.
