Almost any veggies go well with salmon steaks. After eating okra with steamed fish in Jamaica, I was inspired to try to make it. I've never made okra before. I tried to look up some recipes online, but they all had some ingredients I didn't want to use. I decided to try and make up my very own okra recipe, and it turned out great.
Eating this steamed fish in Jamaica, I wondered where the slimy sauce comes from. Finally, while cutting, and then cooking okra, I realized that it's okra itself that is somewhat slimy, and that I can maintain its sauce if I don't dry it out during cooking (adding water and lemon help with that).

Ingredients:
2 salmon steaks
3 Tbsp red wine
1 lb okra, cut into 3-4 pieces each
1/4 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 jalapeno pepper, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 cup water
juice from 1 lemon
oil salt and pepper
2 cups of white rice
Set the rice to cook in your rice cooker while you prepare the rest of the meal.
While the salmon stakes are marinating, prepare the ingredients for okra.
Saute onion, garlic and peppers for a couple of minutes. Add okra and simmer for 5 minutes. Add water and lemon juice and cook covered for another 5-10 minutes. You can add more water if it starts to dry out.
Place salmon steaks into a plate or a tray for marinating. Sprinkle some salt (or seasoning mix) and red wine. Turn over a couple of times to make sure both sides are covered.

Now you can start cooking your salmon. That takes the least amount of time. Heat a little bit of oil on the frying pan. Fry salmon steaks on high heat for about 2 minutes per side for 0.5in steak.
By now the rice should be cooked and if timed it right, you can enjoy a nice hot meal.

I always wondered what the difference is between a $20 rice cooker form Walmart and a $200 one from Japan. I did fine with a cheap one for a while, then I got a Zojirushi one and I love it. I got this rice cooker used, since they are really expensive. They cook longer that the cheap versions, and have options for many kinds of rice, which comes in handy if you want to make sushi rice or brown rice. The rice comes out very nice and uniformelly cooked. Zojirushi rice cookers have this goofy music at the beginning and at the end of the cooking session thats just plane silly!
