HEART HEALTHY RECIPE- POACHED SALMON WITH DILL SAUCE

This flavorful salmon is a cinch to prepare, and the dill weed adds a distinct flavor to the sauce.

Poached Salmon with Dill Sauce

1 medium onion, peeled, ends removed, sliced

1 cube chicken bouillon

1 ½  c.  water

1 T. lemon juice

4 salmon steaks (6 to 7 ounces each)

 Sauce:

1 T. tub margarine

1 T. finely chopped onion

 2 T. flour

1 tsp. dill weed

1/8  tsp. white pepper

1 c.  skim milk

In a skillet large enough to hold fish in a single layer, combine the onion, bouillon,  water and lemon juice.  Heat to a boil over high heat.  Add the salmon steaks and simmer, tightly covered, about 10 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

In small saucepan, melt the margarine over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion until tender, about 3 minutes.  Stir in the flour, dill weed and pepper.  Add the milk, mixing well.  Heat until the mixture boils and thickens, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes.  Remove the salmon to a platter.  Pour the dill sauce over the salmon and serve.
