Salmon is made often at my house, and this is one of the recipes that I enjoy most. What I like about it is that it can be viewed as a complete meal. Fresh spinach is sauteed with wine, garlic, and a little bit of nutmeg and pepper. The sauteed spinach is topped with grilled salmon. And there is a simple yogurt dill sauce drizzled on top.
If you’re eating low carb, this recipe works for you. There are only 7 carbs in each serving. And if you’re watching your weight, this is a good recipe for you too! Salmon is good for you, and the yogurt sauce is made with nonfat yogurt. If you are following the Weight Watchers program, this is a zero-point meal for you. Yahoo!
The salmon in this recipe is cooked on the grill. You can use your outdoor grill, or if you have a grill pan for the stove then you can use that too. Grilled salmon filets are served on top of very simply sauteed spinach. If you’re not into spinach, you can leave this part of the recipe out entirely. The salmon and the sauce are very good on their own.
About the Yogurt-Dill Sauce:
Three ingredients make up the sauce: nonfat yogurt, horseradish and fresh dill. I recommend looking for regular nonfat yogurt (not Greek). Greek yogurt is too thick to make a sauce that is easily spooned over the salmon. To serve, you’ll place the salmon filets on top of the sauteed spinach. Drizzle the yogurt sauce on top with fresh dill sprigs for garnish. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing. Enjoy!
