Reviews

Portions:
6

Serving Size:
3-1/2 ounce salmon steak with 2-1/2 tablespoons dressing

Diet Types:

Cut one lemon into 6 wedges and set aside. Zest 1/2 teaspoon from peel of the other lemon. Juice lemon for 5 tablespoons. Slice onion and chop parsley and dill weed.
For dressing, in a small mixing bowl combine mayonnaise or salad dressing, buttermilk, 2 tablespoons dill weed, chives, lemon zest, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Cover and chill at least one hour.
In a 12" skillet combine 1-1/2 cups water, remaining 4 tablespoons lemon juice, onion, peppercorns, parsley, bay leaves, and salt. Bring to a boil; add salmon steaks. Cover; simmer 8 to 12 minutes (12 to 18 minutes for frozen) or until fish just flakes easily when tested with a fork.
Serve salmon steaks topped with dressing. Garnish with remaining dill weed and lemon wedges.

You will need 6 salmon steaks , cut 1 to 1-1/4" thick (about 2 pounds).
For a lower protein diet, reduce the serving size to 1/2 salmon fillet, about 1-3/4 to 2 ounces cooked.
Use fat-free mayonnaise to reduce fat to 8 grams per serving.
