Broiled Salmon with Creamy Lemon Sauce

Ok, so the picture makes it look kinda gross, but this is really delicious. The sauce is so easy to make and pretty much takes 20 minutes to make the whole thing. Another great recipe out of the Southbeach Cookbook. I do use freshly squeezed lemon juice and use the Coscto salmon fillets which work very nicely. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 tbsp EVOO

1 clove garlic, minced

1/4 c. lemon juice (best freshly squeezed)

2 tbsp capers

1 tsp lemon-pepper seasoning

1/2 c. fat-free sour cream

1 1/2 pounds salmon fillet

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350*F. Coat baking sheet with cooking spray. Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Reduce heat to low. Stir in lemon juice, capers, and lemon-pepper seasoning and cook for 5 min. Add sour cream and cook for 5 min, or until heated through. Meanwhile, place the salmon on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 min or until the fish is just opaque. Serve with the sauce.

Broiled Tilapia with Thai Coconut-Curry Sauce

I had gotten a bag of frozen tilapia fillets one day at the store because they are fairly cheap and I wanted to add more fish into our diets, but I had no idea how to make them tasty. I googled tilapia and found this awsome recipe on MyRecipes.com. It's really easy, especially if you do all the food prep first and just have it waiting to be dumped in the pan. Lots of flavor and a nice meal that's out of the ordinary.
