When I think of healthy food, the first thing I think of is salad. If we were all playing a game of Scattergories together, & the category was health food - salad would be the thing most of us said first.
So, when it came time for creating another healthy recipe for Life Around Home (the social-media television show I'm involved in), I knew I wanted to do a salad - a not-so-boring salad at that. Something that I could enjoy every bite of, and look forward to having again. Truth is, I can't say that about many.
With the addition of salmon, potatoes, & green beans - it turns an ordinary salad into the real meal deal. You can use it with fresh salmon or even a pack of already cooked salmon (although obviously fresh tastes best).

Squeeze one half of the lemon on top of the steamer contents. Cover & steam for an additional 6-8 minutes.
Transfer the steamer basket contents to large bowl, & flake the salmon slightly. Spread the chopped romaine lettuce on a plate, and top with the sliced potato, green beans, & salmon. Squeeze the other lemon half evenly around the salad & then drizzle on the olive oil. Garnish with sliced a sliced tomato.
