SALMON WITH CAPER MAYONNAISE

Just Tell Me What to Eat!
by Timothy S. Harlan
I like grilled salmon so much, and to put anything on it is a bit like gilding the lily, but this mayonnaise is so versatile. You can use most any herb that you like—chives, thyme, basil.
Servings: 4
Serving Size: 4 ounces salmon and 1½ tablespoons mayonnaise

Cooking Time: 30 minutes
The mayonnaise keeps well for about 3 days. The leftover fish makes great sandwiches.
 

INGREDIENTS

• 1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons fresh curly parsley, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons capers
• 4 (4-ounce) salmon fillets
 

DIRECTIONS

1. Mix the mayonnaise, parsley, tarragon, lemon juice, and capers and chill.

2. Preheat the oven to broil. Place the salmon fillets on a nonstick cookie sheet.

3. Place under the broiler and cook for about 5 minutes.

4. Top with 2 tablespoons of the herbed mayonnaise and return to the broiler for another 5 minutes, until the salmon is just cooked through.
