Steamed Salmon Steaks with Lemon and Swiss Chard

You could use most any greens you wish for this dish.  And now that there are so many varieties pre-cleaned and chopped, ready to go, there is no excuse not to eat your greens!
2 salmon steaks
1 lemon, sliced
1/2 tsp dried dill

10-12 oz swiss chard, trimmed and chopped
1 red pepper, sliced
1 onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp butter and 1 Tbsp olive oil

Sauté the onion and peppers in the butter an oil in a large pot that fits a steaming rack. Cook for about 5 minutes and add the garlic. Cook another 2-3 minutes. Add the chard and allow to steam down for a few minutes, turning with tongs several times. Add about a quarter cup water if the collards are very dry - you’ll need this to steam the fish.
Place the salmon steaks in an oiled steaming rack fitted for the pot. Salt and pepper to taste. Top with several slices of lemon. Dress with the dill.
Place steaming rack on top of the chard and cover. Heat gently to steam the fish for about 10 minutes as the collards cook down.

Remove the salmon to plates and place the greens in the center of the steak.

Serves 2-3.
