• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 7
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 2 tablespoons nonfat plain yogurt or 2 tablespoons sour cream
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon dijon-style mustard
• 1⁄2 teaspoon minced ginger or 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

1. Seafood Alternatives: swordfish, trout fillets, cod, orange roughy
2. In a small bowl combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, mustard, ginger and honey.
3. Set aside while the fish cooks.
4. Rinse the salmon in cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
