If you're intimidated by cooking fish, I'm here to tell you that it can be really easy. This salmon recipe can be whipped up in less than 30 minutes. Salmon is a healthy choice because it is loaded with Omega 3 fatty acids. The American Heart Association recommends eating fish at least twice a week. Omega 3 fatty acids are important to incorporate into your diet for a healthy heart. This salmon dish is also baked rather than fried which is not only healthier but easy clean up! Serve with a side of rice and steamed veggies for a delicious and heart happy dinner.
Salmon with Dill Chive Sauce
- 3/4 c. low fat mayonnaise
- 2 TBS. lemon juice
- 2 TBS. fresh dill, chopped
- 2 TBS. fresh chives, chopped
- 1/4 tsp. onion powder
- 1/8 tsp. salt
- 4 4 oz. salmon fillets, thawed if frozen
- salt and pepper
- olive oil
Place salmon on a broiler pan. Brush lightly with olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Meanwhile mix mayonnaise, lemon juice, dill, chives, onion powder, and salt in a small bowl. When fish is done baking place on a plate and drizzle sauce on top of each fillet. Serves 4.

What a great accompaniment for salmon! I'm always looking for news ways to cook it.
Cookin', I put some leftover sauce over diced tomatoes for my lunch today. Yum!
Sounds great. I'll have to give this sauce a try.

I should have known you'd be the one who came up when I searched for "baked salmon" recipe. Planning to tweak the sauce, and pair with a Saison beer. Delicious!
