How to Make Salmon With Cucumber Dill Sauce

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1 clove minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  3. Add 1/4 cup dry white wine (optional) and cook for 1 minute, allowing the alcohol to evaporate.
  4. Place 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets in the skillet.
  5. Pour 2 tablespoons lemon juice over the salmon.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 8 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  8. While the salmon simmers, prepare the cucumber dill sauce: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup finely chopped cucumber, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  9. Stir well to combine.
  10. Gently transfer the cooked salmon to a serving platter using two spatulas.
  11. Spoon the cucumber dill sauce evenly over the salmon.
  12. Serve immediately with herbed new potatoes and steamed asparagus.
