I made a delicious and I mean DELICIOUS salmon dinner last night.

Nathan and I both have been thinking about it all day today. Seth has been thinking about PB&J, but what does he know? :)

I will give you the recipe as found in the Taste of Home Healthy Cooking magazine followed by my notes. YUUUUUUUUMMMM!!


Salmon with Dill Sauce

6 salmon fillets (4 oz each)

1/2 tsp plus 2 Tbsp fresh dill (just the leaves)

1/4 tsp pepper

4 tsp cornstarch

2/3 cup reduced sodium chicken broth

1/3 cup evaporated milk

1 Tbsp dijon mustard

2 tsp lemon juice

Place each salmon fillet on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 12 inches square). Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp dill and pepper.

Fold foil around salmon and seal tightly. Grill, with the cover closed, over high heat for 5-10 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

In a small saucepan, combine the cornstarch, broth, milk, mustard, lemon juice and remaining dill. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened.

Open foil packets carefully to allow steam to escape. Serve salmon with dill sauce.


Juli's notes -- I used an 18 oz fillet of fresh Atlantic Salmon and cooked it whole in foil on the grill. It took about 20 minutes to cook. To make the sauce dairy free I boiled 2/3 cup of soy creamer down to 1/3 cup and substituted that for the evaporated milk. I served the salmon with plain white rice and steamed asparagus. This simple meal was one of the best dinners I've had in quite a while!

Enjoy!!
