Baked Salmon Dijon

I tried another new recipe tonight for dinner. It was delicious!

Today is Ed's birthday and I always try to cook something special for him. With Valentine's Day being so close there are always good grocery store specials to pick from. He wanted a steak but since I'm trying to cut back on my red meat I opted for salmon. I've cooked salmon before but I wanted a new way to try it other than the good ole standby of marinating it in Italian dressing and grilling it.


Try to ignore the very poor presentation. The plate looks very sloppy but the food tasted oh so delicious. We had roasted asparagus with balsamic vinegar, old bay seasoned roasted sweet potatoes and I had baked salmon. The recipe for the sauce is below:

• 1 cup fat-free sour cream
• 2 tsp dried dill
• 3 Tbsp scallions, finely chopped
• 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
• 2 Tbsp lemon juice

This was the amount for 1-1/2 lb of salmon fillets. I bought a 9 oz fillet so I cut the recipe in half and still had plenty of sauce left over which Ed ate with crackers. He said it made a very tasty dip. But back to the salmon, first you season the salmon fillet with garlic powder and black pepper and top with the sauce. Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes or just until the salmon is opaque. Easy, fast and yummy! And healthy!!
