This salmon recipe is so easy, and people often tell me it's the best-tasting salmon they've ever had, says field editor Kathleen Jones of Newberg, Oregon. The fish is moist and tender, and the dill sauce is a delightful complement. Ingredients:
1/4 cup fat-free mayonnaise |
1/4 cup reduced-fat plain yogurt |
2 to 3 tablespoons minced fresh dill |
1 green onion, chopped |
1-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh basil |
4 whole peppercorns |
1 bay leaf |
1 salmon fillet (1 pound), cut into 4 pieces |
Directions:
1. For dill sauce, combine the mayonnaise, yogurt, dill, onion, and basil in a blender; cover and process until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
2. Place 2 in. of water, peppercorns and bay leaf in a large skillet. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; add salmon. Cook, uncovered, for 4-8 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove with a slotted spoon. Discard bay leaf. Serve fish with dill sauce. Yield: 4 servings.
