Salmon With Fennel and Cognac Sauce image

An original recipe I came up with that turned out well. At first I thought the sauce was a little bit thin but it turned out to make a nice dipping sauce for the salmon and salad.

500 g salmon steaks
1 tablespoon butter
2 garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon fennel seed
1 leek, very finely chopped, white section only
3 tablespoons cognac
1 cup low-fat plain yogurt

1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Melt butter in saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add garlic, fennel seeds and leek and gently saute for around 5 minutes.
  • Add yoghurt and lemon juice, mix well, and return to heat.
  • Reduce temperature a little and cook around 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Allow to boil gently.
  • Remove from heat, add the cognac, season with pepper, stir well and place in refrigerator for 15 minutes.

  • Garnish with parsley.
  • Serve with fresh salad and/or light vegetables.
