    1 pound green beans, ends trimmed
    4 medium carrots, cut into sticks similar size to the beans

  1. In a skillet with a tight fitting lid, pour 1/2 inch water; bring to a boil, and season generously with salt. Add green beans and carrots. Return water to a simmer, cover skillet, and steam until veggies are crisp-tender, 4 to 6 minutes.

    Transfer to a colander; rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
  2. Rinse skillet with cold water to cool it down. Place salmon in skillet and add cold water to cover; season with salt. Bring water to a boil over high heat;

    cover skillet, and remove from heat. Set aside until salmon is opaque throughout, about 20 minutes. Remove from skillet, and let cool.
  3. In a small bowl, stir together yogurt, curry powder, and cilantro; season with salt and pepper.
  4. Break salmon into large pieces over veggies. Top with yogurt cilantro sauce.
  5. Serve on top of brown rice to add a whole grain carb to the meal.

Serves 4

You can make all the elements of this dish ahead of time and simply bring them all to room temperature before serving.

Also, play around with the sauce if you have a chance. I added extra coriander, cumin and turmeric.
