Broiled Salmon With Garlic Sauce

Ripped out of one of my old cookbooks. It had recipes for everyday of the year but I don't remember the name of it. Stove top sauce and broiled fish.

• Ready In: 20 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2  tablespoons butter, soft
• 2  garlic cloves, minced
• 3  tablespoons flour
• 1⁄2 cup  evaporated skim milk, skim
• 1  tablespoon cooking sherry
• 1⁄4-1⁄2 cup skim milk
• 1⁄2 teaspoon lemon juice, fresh
• 4  salmon steaks, 1 inch thick
•  salt and black pepper
• 1  tablespoon butter, in small pieces

Directions

1. Preheat broiler.
2. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and saute garlic for 1-2 minutes.
3. Remove from heat and add flour, mixing well with a whisk. Return to medium heat and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring often.
4. Add evaporated milk, a little at a time, continuing to whisk sauce as it thickens.
5. Add sherry and allow sauce to simmer. Stir in 1/4 cup lowfat milk or more, if needed, to thin sauce to a creamy consistency (should lightly coat a spoon).
6. Add lemon juice and blend well; set aside.
7. Place fish in a small broiling pan that has been sprayed with a non-stick cooking spray. Season lightly with pepper.
8. Dot each piece with butter and broil for 4-5 minutes per side. Salmon is cooked when fish is no longer translucent. Do not overcook.
9. Serve immediately with reserved sauce.
