Zesty Baked Salmon

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 fillet)

Ingredients

• 4  (6-ounce) salmon fillets
• Cooking spray
• 2  tablespoons  chopped green onions
• 1  tablespoon  low-fat mayonnaise
• 1  tablespoon  plain fat-free yogurt
• 1  teaspoon  lemon pepper
• 1/4  teaspoon  salt
• 1/4  teaspoon  dry mustard
• Chopped green onions (optional)
• Lemon wedges (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425°.

Place fish, skin side down, in a baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake at 425° for 18 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.

Combine 2 tablespoons green onions and next 5 ingredients; spread evenly over fish. Bake 2 additional minutes or until sauce is bubbly.

Serve immediately. If desired, sprinkle with additional chopped green onions, and garnish with lemon wedges.

Tip: Because it has a higher fat content than many other kinds of fish, salmon stays moist and flavorful even if it's slightly overdone. It's a great choice if you're not used to cooking fish.
