As promised here is our first recipe entry for the Miele steam oven. We recently prepared salmon with brown rice and zuchinni and summer squash. This healthy and nutritous and also inexpensive meal took a total of 25 minutes of cooking time, with almost no effort.
 
I went to a local grocery store and picked up a pound of fresh salmon (about $5.99) along with a bag of brown rice and a yellow squash and zucchini (about $2.00). We then selected the “Rice” setting in the oven’s menu (under “Grains”), and hit start to begin the preheat on the oven.
 
While I was waiting for the oven to heat up, I began the quick and easy preparation of our meal. While going through the menu I noticed that the recommendation for rice was that for every one cup of rice, you want to pour an equal amount of water into the pan with it. So I poured a cup and a half of rice into the solid pan, along with a cup and a half of water.
 
I then cut up the squash and zucchini, which I placed in one of the preforated dishes. My next step was to grease the other preforated dish, and after I had done that, I placed the salmon filet on the dish, and seasoned it with some Cajun salmon powder for added flavor.
 
By this time the oven was preheate so I put the rice in. Now, the default time displayed was 40 minutes, but since we didn’t put much rice in we decided we would check it in 15 minutes.  Since I expected the salmon to take about 8-10 minutes, I figured having the rice in for 25 minutes would be enough since most things we had dealt with before seemed to cook faster.  I just thought I’d check the consistancy at that point and make the determination then.
 
Sure enough, 15-minutes later I opened the oven and tasted the rice, and while it was a little crunchy, it was soft enough to make me believe that 25-minutes would do the trick.  At that point I put the salmon and the vegetable trays into the oven and closed the door along with the rice, and waited for our meal.
 
10-minutes later we opened the door and I checked the senter of the the salmon, which was cooked thoroughly and looked absolutely delicious.  I checked the rice, and sure enough, it was nice and tender.  After taking each dish out I spooned out some rice, added the vegetables and the salmon, and just like that the meal was ready.
 
The salmon was incredibly tendor and the seasoning had penetrated the fish nicely and added a lot of flavor.  The vegetables were also cooked perfectly, and were delicious.  All in all being able to prepare a meal of this calibur (that would cost $10.95 a plate at a normal restaurant) for so little money and with such ease is just amazing.  Needless to say give this one a try, and post your comments and let us hear your results!
