Steamed Fish and Vegetables, with basil, ginger, peppers, and asparagus, is international in flavor. It can be paired up with any flavors, but here we add Red Leaf Salad with Lemon Vinaigrette, Basil Rice, and Almond-Vanilla Pudding, which have an Italian theme. Pantry items like bottled vinaigrette, quick-cooking rice, and instant pudding make dinner a quick affair.

Steamed Fish and Vegetables recipe

Toss red leaf lettuce with lemon juice and vinaigrette. Add sugar if needed to balance the acid.

Stir chopped or sliced fresh basil into hot rice.

Add 1 to 2 drops (be careful, it's potent) almond extract to vanilla pudding. Stir in toasted chopped almonds.
