Salmon Dinner



Here's a fantastic meal I made with one of my new friends. It was quick and relatively easy dinner- baked salmon with yogurt sauce, oven-roasted potatoes, chard, and a black grape and celery salad. (Recipe below is from Tastebook.com
Grilled Salmon with Yogurt Dill Sauce

+ 2 cups plain non fat yogurt
+ 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
+ 2 cloves garlic, minced
+ 1 Tablespoon chopped dill, or 1 Teaspoon dried
+ 1/8 teaspoon salt
+ 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
+ Dash of hot pepper
+ 1/2 cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced
6 (8 ounce) salmon steaks or 1 whole fish

Combine the yogurt with the lemon juice, garlic, dill, salt, hot pepper sauce in a medium bowl.

Gently stir in cucumber.

Prepare the fish by rubbing salt and pepper on both sides.

Prepare a medium hot charcoal fire or preheat oven broiler, placing the oven rack about 3 inches from the heat source.

Broil or grill the salmon for 10 to 20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily, turning once.

Cooking time will depend on the thickness, do not overcook.

Serve the yogurt sauce on the side.
