Salmon w/ Creamy Dill Sauce

Salmon.  Either you love it or hate it.  I happen to love it, especially with this creamy sauce.  I always thought salmon was incredibly expensive until I bought it frozen at Trader Joes for $9.99/lb.  Not bad considering a serving of fish is about 3 oz.  If you don't like the taste of salmon or feel it's too pricey, substitute tilapia.

Serves 4

Ingredients

• 1 lb. salmon
• 3/4 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon onion salt
• 1/2 small onion, sliced & separated into rings
• 4 lemon slices
• 2 tablespoons butter, cubed
• Cooking spray

Dill Sauce

• 1/3 cup light sour cream or nonfat Greek yogurt
• 1/3 cup mayo with olive oil
• 1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 3/4 teaspoon fresh dill
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
• Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Line a baking dish with heavy-duty foil; lightly spray with cooking spray.  Place salmon skin side down.  Sprinkle with lemon-pepper and onion salt.  Top with onion and lemon slices.  Fold foil around salmon and seal tightly.

Bake for 20 minutes.  Open foil carefully, allowing steam to escape.  Broil 4-6 inches from the heat for 8-12 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. 

Combine sauce ingredients until smooth.  Serve with salmon.

Note: Some of the onion will be burnt after broiling which I toss and I set aside the lemon.
