Tired of the same old salmon recipes? This Cardamom Steamed Salmon brings warm, fragrant spices from the Middle East and India straight to your weeknight table — without a steamer basket or complicated techniques. Tender bites of salmon gently cook in their own aromatic juices alongside crisp-tender green beans and zucchini, then rest on a bed of fresh lettuce hearts. The result? A bright, elegant, one-pan meal that’s ready in under 20 minutes and tastes far more luxurious than the effort required.
