A sweet steamed salmon with apricot

What you'll need:
- 25 minutes
- Fresh salmon fillet, defrosted
- Baby carrots
- Whole grain rice
- Apricot jam
- Apricots, fresh or dried
- Honey
- Smart balance margarine, optional
- Spices


Protein:
Before: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a large piece of foil with Pam (enough to wrap up your piece of fish). Place the fish on the foil, then add a tablespoon or two of apricot jam and spread it on top, then sprinkle on apricot pieces.
During: Wrap up the fish, so it is covered in a packet and place in oven (it may help to put it on a cookie sheet) for 15-20 minutes (when cooking dinner-sized portion of salmon.)

Vegetables:
Before: Spray a piece of foil and toss on some baby carrots and drizzle with honey
During: Close-up the foil around the carrots like a packet and pop in the oven for about15 minutes.


Carbohydrates:
Before: Place double the amount of water to rice in a pot and boil it up! (1/2 C uncooked rice is good for 2 people)
During: After pot has been brought to boil, simmer until fluffy! Add in a tsp Smart Balance margarine and some of your favorite spices, I used Mrs Dash's table spice, salt, pepper, and garlic.


After!!!
