Creamy Dill Salmon
Ingredients
Time: prepping 12 minutes, cooking 6 to 8 minutes
Most cream sauces are made with high-fat cream, using light cream cheese and yogourt provides a delicious creamy flavoured sauce without all the added fat and sodium. This sauce is also delicious with trout.
1⁄4 cup (60 mL) low-fat plain cream cheese
1⁄4 cup (60 mL) low-fat plain yogourt
2 tsp (10 mL) lemon juice (about half a lemon)
1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped fresh dill or 1 tsp
(5 mL) dried dill
1⁄8 tsp (0.5 mL) mustard powder
1 pinch of red pepper powder
1 lb (450 g) wild salmon fillets
Directions
In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, yogourt, lemon juice, dill, mustard powder and red pepper powder. Lay salmon fillets in a lightly greased pan. Top with cream sauce. Place in oven on broil for 6 to 8 minutes until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily. Makes 6 servings.
