Last Minute Salmon Recipe

I just got back to New York on Monday, and of course we have no groceries except for what was already in the fridge/freezer/pantry before I left, and coincidentally we are in the middle of the pay period which means no money... I took this as a challenge to use up the remainder of our groceries to hold us over until payday and still make delicious meals. I found some salmon in the freezer, rice in the pantry, and baby carrots in the fridge...CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.

I hope you guys enjoy this healthy meal, and notice how easy it was to make!!! So easy, so delicious, so healthy! I was hesitant about the whole meal in general, because I wasn't sure if each portion of the meal complemented each other, but it turned out so good, and Cory loved it too.
