I would highly recommend this dish to anyone who is afraid of spending too much time in the kitchen. Salmon fish is easy to prepare, has lots of health benefits and is tasty. This recipe can be done in less than 10 minutes, and is a boon to the health-conscious group. Take note that the salmon must not be over-boiled lest the quality of the salmon is reduced. You can also put a dash of olive oil over the salmon before eating.
