Salmon is a good way to expand your menu at home, and eat healthy. It’s high in the "good fats"...Omega 3 fatty acids. In this episode, Dr. Gourmet is cooking salmon with caper mayonnaise. Let's get started.
Ingredients:Salmon
1/4 cup reduced fat mayonnaise
1 Tbs. vinegar
Oil
1/2 tsp. dried tarragon
2 Tbs. lemon juice
2 Tbs. capers
2 Tbs. parsley Salmon - Preheat oven to 400 degrees and place large skillet in the oven.
- Spritz oil on the salmon to keep it from sticking. Add the filets to skillet. By putting the fillets in a pan that is already hot, you can sear the bottom nicely.
- Fresh or thawed salmon cooks about 10-minutes for every inch of thickness. You’ll know it’s finished when the flesh becomes opaque.
- Remove the salmon from the oven, wait about five minutes and then garnish with your caper mayonnaise.
Caper Mayonnaise - Blend together 1/4 cup reduced fat mayonnaise with two tablespoons parsley, 1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon, one tablespoon fresh lemon juice and two tablespoons capers.
- Top salmon with the mayonnaise
- Tip: Mayonnaise toppings work well on salmon any way you prepare it.
Note: One serving salmon with caper mayonnaise has 215 calories and 12 grams of fat. This is a great example of where a recipe has a lot of fat, but is still good for you.
