South Beach Salmon With Creamy Lemon Sauce Low Carb

BakinBaby's Note:

I found this in the "South Beach Diet Book".. even if you're not dieting... it's great. Just substitute real sour cream for the fat-free for a to die for experience. It's quick, simple and uses on hand ingredients.

Love this recipe! Very easy. Double the sauce recipe- it is phenomenal on steamed cauliflower! This is a recipe I will never ever lose or forget!

This doesn't taste low carb at all! Very nice contrast in flavors. Instead of putting the lemon pepper in the sauce I put it directly on the Salmon and I did cut down the amount of lemon juice but increased the capers! Made with Coconut Ginger Rice #26974 and Succotash #9129, all the flavors accented each other very well. Thank you for a fantastic recipe!

This was very good. However, I thought the lemon sauce was a bit too strong lemon flavor for me. This is just a personal preference. I will make it again, but next time I'll use a bit less lemon juice.
