   4      6 oz          salmon steaks -- or fillets (6 to 8)
                        -----steaming liquid-----
                        water
                        salt

     1/2  cup           butter or margarine -- softened
     1/2  cup           fresh orange juice
     1/2  teaspoon      thyme leaves -- (dried)

Preparation:

1-2 cups of water are needed to steam the fillets, depending on the pan used. For each cup, add 1 tablespoon of salt and stir. Steam the fillets for 9-10 minutes or until they flake easily when tested with a fork. Blend the butter, orange juice and thyme into a smooth butter, either by hand or in a blender. Remove the fillets to a serving platter and generously cover with the orange butter. Serve with a plain lettuce salad, peas, rice and dinner rolls. UW Sea Grant Advisory Services
