Broiled Salmon with Creamy Dill Sauce

One of our favorite recipes is this broiled salmon with creamy dill sauce recipe (that Steve received from a colleague at work). The recipe is incredibly simple and takes less than 20 minutes to prepare - great when we are pressed for time and are looking for a healthy meal.

Here are the ingredients you will need:

•  2 boneless, skinless salmon fillets
• 1/2 cup light sour cream
• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh dill
• 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
• 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper
  

And here is how you bring it all together:

• Preheat broiler. Sprinkle salmon fillets lightly on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Place salmon on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Broil 4-6 inches from the heat source for about 4 minutes per side, or until fish flakes easily but is just slightly pink in the center.
• Wile fish is cooking, prepare sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, maple syrup, mustard, lemon juice, dill, lemon zest, salt and pepper.
• Remove salmon from oven and drizzle with sauce. Serve immediately.

The sauce is really what makes this dish stand out - the combination of the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, lemon and dill are incredible! If you enjoy salmon and are looking for a quick meal idea I suggest that you move this recipe to the top of your list.

Bon appetit and enjoy!
