Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lbs salmon cut into 4 fillets
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tsp dijon mustard
1 tbsp low fat mayonnaise (I used Vegenaise)
2 tbsp plain, nonfat Greek yogurt
Juice of 1 lemon
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

Using a small blender or hand blender, combine the basil leaves, mint leaves and olive oil, and let rest for about 10-15 minutes. Then, whisk together the mustard, yogurt, and mayo until smooth. Now stir in the basil, mint and olive oil mixture, the lemon juice and zest. Whisk until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper, and mist with nonfat cooking spray or an olive oil mister. Pace salmon fillets on baking sheet and mist with olive. Season fillets with salt and pepper. Place in oven and roast for about 8-12 minutes or until salmon is cooked through. Plate each fillet of salmon, and top with the basil mint sauce.
