Wha-? How can they not like salmon? Have you tried different ways of preparing it and seasoning it etc? Because how fish is prepared can make all the difference, especially with people who aren't as keen on it. I think my favourite way is to put lemon pepper, sliced leek, and sliced carrots on a salmon fillet, put wrap the whole thing in tin foil, and cook it in the oven. No burned bits, no dry bits, just lovely, lovely salmon.

I have steamed veg with just about everything. Well, that or woked veg, I am very fond of wok as well. I think maybe the fact that I eat a lot of veg and a decent amount of fruit was a huge contributor to all my health test results coming back as good, including my cholesterol, which I was worried about because it doesn't feel like I'm being super healthy with my diet. But everything was well within the normal and healthy. Tip if you don't like certain veg: find out what you can put on it to make it tasty. I can't stand brussel sprouts unless there's a sprinkle of salt and some sauce/gravy on them, but then I can shovel them down by the bucketload. So that's what I do. Or just put veg I like into the sauce/gravy, like peas, diced carrots, or sweet corn.

The kids essentially are vegetarians, but even so, they never liked fish when they did eat meat.

Fruit and veg are the food of life. The more of them we eat, the better off we are!

Ah, I see : ) Just veg with seasoning, herbs and carbonara (without the bacon if they don't want bacon in it) is still very tasty, I do that if I've got everything other than salmon. It's still a bit weird to me when people don't eat fish, because here, vegetarian = fish eating vegetarian unless otherwise specified : P

Oh, I might have a good completely vegetarian recipe in a book, if I can find it I'll let you know. Tortilla wraps with veg, mango and mango chutney. It's supposed to have chicken or fish in it, but I've tried, and it works just as well without it.
