Grilled Salmon Steaks with Tarragon Sauce
(makes 4 servings)
4 5-ounce (150 g) fresh salmon steaks, cut 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick
3 tablespoons (45 ml) fresh lemon juice
Tarragon Sauce
2 shallots, minced
2 tablespoons (8 g) chopped fresh tarragon or 2 teaspoons (10 ml) crushed dried
1 cup (228 g) plain nonfat yogurt
1 medium plum tomato, 3 ounce (90 g), seeded and finely minced
1 tablespoon (9 g) minced flat-leaf parsley
Start a grill or preheat broiler. Brush both sides of salmon with lemon juice.
Grill for 5 to 6 minutes per side, turning once, until salmon flakes when prodded with the tines of a fork.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine shallots, tarragon, yogurt, tomato, and parsley. Mix well.
When salmon steaks are done, arrange on dinner plates and spoon some of the tarragon sauce alongside.
