Salmon Steamed over Orange-basil Tomato Sauce

I've never had much luck with cooking fish. This recipe, however, was a delight. I had no idea you could steam fish directly on food. The result is a flaky, light delicious dish that I would recommend to all fish lovers. The recipe was obtained from the book, "Amazing Food Tips and Cooking Hints." I am passing it onto you verbatim, though I'd recommend using only half of the orange zest. Show more
