Salmon and Greens - Greek Style!

I'm trying to eat more greens, and more salmon, and this was SUPER easy and super delicious.  Most of the stuff is from TJs, and I got the idea from the cooking greens bag and improvised.  It was DELICIOUS!

Cooking tools I used:
Pampered Chef Microwave Steamer
Big old skillet with glass cover
Big old stock pot

Ingredients:
Wild Caught Salmon (3 servings)
1 onion, minced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
Can of Tomato Sauce (15 oz)
Mixed Cooking Greens (16 oz - Got this bag from Trader Joe's -- it was Turnip Greens, Collards, and Spinach)
Black Olives (3 oz)
Green Olives (3 oz)
Sundried Tomatoes in Oil (2 T)
Orzo Pasta
Greek Seasoning
Parmesan Cheese
Olive Oil
Butter
Salt
Pepper

First, microwave the greens in the microwave steamer for 6 minutes (if you don't have a one, I'm sure you could just put them in a bowl or soemthing.)  While that is going on, sautee the onion and garlic in the skillet. Then dump in the greens, tomoato sauce, olives, sundried tomatoes, as well a some salt and pepper.  Turn it to low, and then turn on the pasta water.  While that is heating up, drizzle some olive oil on the salmon and season with Greek seasoning, salt and pepper.  Cook the pasta/ broil the fish.  This will take about 7 minutes.  Take out the fish, add a little butter, cheese and greek seasoning to the pasta.  Serve the pasta with the skillet sauce and the salmon on the side.  Parmesan cheese to top it all.

In retrospect, I'll bet feta cheese would have been even better.
