Seared Salmon in Creamy Dill Sauce

Contributed By: lbrand

Salmon is an incredibly rich source of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. When possible, select intensely flavored wild salmon, which contains fewer environmental contaminants than farm-raised. Use the leftover dill sauce instead of plain mayo in turkey roll-ups.

Ingredients

1/4 cup Mayonnaise

1/4 cup Nonfat plain yogurt

2 Scallions, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons Chopped fresh dill

4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, with skin

Salt and pepper

1 tablespoon Extra-virgin olive oil

2 ounces Alfalfa sprouts (2 cups)

Preparation

1. Combine mayonnaise, yogurt, scallions, lemon juice, and dill.

2. Season salmon with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon, flesh-side down, and sear 3 minutes, until brown. Flip and sear another 3 minutes, until salmon is just cooked through.

3. Place a dollop of sauce on serving plate; top with salmon and a small mound of sprouts.
