Now that school and routine is back in full swing, I’m again feeling the huge time crunch to make healthy dinners for my family. Many evenings each week are filled with activities, which leaves very little time to cook. Yet, ‘cook‘ is said in a very broad sense since we all know it’s not a simple act. Making a meal also involves the tasks of shopping, measuring, prep, cooking, and clean-up.
Recently I made Garlic Parsley Salmon, and it took just over 2 minutes without many of the associated tasks. I simply shopped and cooked, and the only clean-up was one cook-safe bag.
Intrigued?
Let me introduce you to Simple Seafood Cooking, thanks to Sobeys and their mission for #BetterFoodForAll. It’s their new Seafood Steamer meal solution which takes the mess and guesswork out of preparing seafood and fish.
The Seafood Steamer is a convenient, new take on the classic French cooking method en papillote, where fish is steamed in a parchment paper pouch.
You simply visit the seafood counter at your local Sobeys grocer and choose your favourite seafood or fish package, already prepared with seasoned butter inside. Each package has detailed instructions on the back, and options to either bake or microwave. That’s right – this ready-to-cook bag is oven-safe. Just shop and pop!
I recently went shopping for Seafood Steamers at Sobeys and I couldn’t choose just one, so I got a variety of choices in both fish and seasoned butter. I noticed the price was the same if not lower than similar fish, so impressive!
The plan was to make them all and have a sampling meal with my family – so we could try many of the flavours at once. Yet before that happened … I got hungry. It was lunchtime and the girls were at a friends house, and I needed to eat but didn’t want to go through a lot of hassle for a solo meal. Then I remembered the Seafood Steamers waiting to cooked that evening.
The Garlic Parsley Salmon called my name – and very loudly I may add, since it was in the fridge.
I read the cooking directions on the reverse side of the package, and weighed my options for oven or microwave. I’d never cooked fish in the microwave before and considering how hangry I was, it was the perfect reason to give it a try.
I heated up some leftover rice and green beans and then put the Garlic Parsley Salmon in the microwave. In just over 2 minutes, I had a meal. One delicious and healthy meal!
That evening my family enjoyed the other Seafood Steamer varieties that I had purchased, and despite lots of sampling, I can’t pick a favourite. Whether you microwave or bake in the oven, they all cook to perfection and taste so good.
Sobeys Seafood Steamers are great for those whom:
- aren’t sure how to cook fish and seafood
- want to add more fish and seafood into their diet
- are confused by seasoning pairings and need expert help
- want a healthy meal in minutes – at home, school; or work
- had a chaotic day and need a meal on the fly
- are plagued by fierce hunger and want to eat now
Varieties include salmon, trout, barramundi, mackerel, herring, whiting, snapper, shrimp, mussels and more {with Salted, Lemon & Dill, or Garlic & Parsley}!
Visit your local Sobeys to see what’s available at a location near you and don’t forget to check out the Seafood Steamer recipes for some delicious inspiration.
