Ring in a Healthy New Year

This year's holiday season is almost over... Thank god, right?!
So.... why are you still trying to fix one more fancy, time-consuming meal for guests? Or are you just looking for a good Anniversary/birthday/excuse to celebrate meal that will impress your guest(s)?
Jillian has brought us a quick, simple, healthy, and elegant dish. It is packed with lean protein and heart-healthy omega-3s, with a little punch from the capers and lemon! No one will be the wiser that this dish was quick and is actually HEALTHY for them!
This definitely earns an "Om nom!"
 
Poached Salmon With Creamy Piccata Sauce
 
Ingredients
  • 1 pound salmon filet, skinned and cut into 4 portions
  • 1 cup dry white wine, divided
  • 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large shallot, minced
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 4 teaspoons capers, rinsed
  • 1/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill weed, chopped
Preparation Place salmon in a large skillet. Add 1/2 cup wine and enough water to just cover the salmon. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer, turn the salmon over, cover, and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallot and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the remaining 1/2 cup wine; boil until slightly reduced, about 1 minute. Stir in lemon juice and capers; cook 1 minute more.
Remove from the heat; stir in sour cream and salt. To serve, top the salmon with the sauce and garnish with dill.
Makes 4 servings.
