Number Of Ingredients 8

4 (5-ounce) skinless wild Alaskan salmon fillets
Coarse salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for pan
1/4 cup slivered almonds
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/4 cup, plus 1 tablespoon lowfat plain Greek yogurt
1/2 small shallot, very thinly sliced
1 cup fresh herbs, such as mint, chervil, or parsley

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 250 degrees; on a lightly oiled baking sheet, season fillets with salt. Bake 15 minutes, then check for doneness. (The finished fillet will have exuded a small amount of liquid and be firm to the touch, flaking with gentle pressure.) Return to oven, checking for doneness every 2 minutes.
  • In a small saute pan, heat oil over medium heat and add almonds, stirring until they become fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool, then stir in lime juice and season with salt. Mix in yogurt until fully combined. Chill until ready to use.
  • To serve, dollop each fillet with yogurt sauce and sprinkle with shallot and herbs.
