Salmon with Rice

We made a really good dinner tonight with some stuff that was lying around. It consists of three separate recipies and a side-dish of steamed baby carrots. Everything fit together perfectly! I didn't want to forget it, so I'm recording it here.

The meal consists of:

• Creamy Yam Soup
• Bulgur-Rice Pilaf
• Dill Baked Salmon
• Steamed baby carrots

Method:

1. Prepare the soup ahead of time. Save the green parts of the leeks for the pilaf.
2. Do the prep work for the pilaf (rinse and chop the veggies; boil the water and add the bulgur and rice).
3. Heat the oven to 425F when you start cooking the veggies for the pilaf (about 20 minutes into the bulgur/rice cooking time).
4. While the veggies are simmering, prepare the salmon.
5. Now that everything's ready, serve the soup.
6. Sneak away and pile a mound of pilaf in the middle of each plate. It should be fairly dense, like packed brown sugar. Lean a salmon fillet against each mound of pilaf. Put some baby carrots on the side. Garnish with parsley! It all comes out looking very gourmet.
