Steamed salmon with coconut orange sauce
Most people eat fish at least once a week because it's easy and fast to prepare. Some people think fish is extremely healthy. This recipe is especially fast because the marinated salmon steams in only 5 minutes. Salmon and other fatty fish, like tuna and mackerel, are some of the only foods which provide vitamin D naturally. According to WebMD, beef liver, cheese, and egg yolks are other good sources. Only whole milk has naturally-occurring vitamin D; other milks are fortified.

| • Add the Coconut orange marinade and salmon to a resealable bag. Remove the air from the bag and refrigerate 1 - 2 hours. |
| • Put water in the bottom of the steamer pan, cover, and heat over medium-high heat. |
| • Remove the fish from the marinade. Put the marinade in a small pan along with the remaining coconut milk and bring to a simmer. To thicken the sauce, combine the cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Add this mixture to the pan and cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. |
| • Add the salmon to the steamer pan. Cover and steam approximately 5 minutes. The fish has been partially "cooked" in the marinade, so it will cook very quickly. Do not overcook the fish. |
