    i like to just throw it on the GF grill with a little seasoning. I personally like mine with a little sauce, so i mix a little of the 0%fage with some stone ground mustard, or a little green salsa. Yummo!

    Chop up some fresh rosemary and rub it on the fish, then when it's done squeeze fresh lemon juice on it.

    I put a bit of garlic and light country crock in the skillet first and then add a little lemon juice. I add the salmon and put lemon pepper seasoning on top. It's my husband's favorite meal!!!

    Google recipes for salmon "en papilotte"...basically fish, veggies and seasonings wrapped up in parchment paper. No oil! Cooks quickly in the oven. Fast, easy and healthy.

    I love mixing some fresh dill and plain greek yogurt together, and then putting that on the salmon. SO YUMMY!

    Basically, you can take any salmon recipie, and cut the amount of salmon you use by 90% and save a ton of calories!

    Yeah, salmon is actually a pretty high calorie fish, but really good for you so just make room. Lemon and some Mrs. Dash is how I eat it.

    Try poached salmon. I make a variation on Julia Child's version in her Art of French cooking. You are basically simmering the fish in a flavored broth.

    Try something like:

    1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
    1/2 tsp lemon zest
    1/8 tsp dried tarragon
    6 black peppercorns
    a couple whole allspice
    1 small shallot (minced)
    2 bay leaves
    Enough water to cover fish

    I prefer salmon filets over steaks, but either work.

    Place the water in a pan or skillet that is deep enough to hold fish and water. Put water in pan. Heat pan over high heat to a boil. Add all of the seasonings. When the water begins to boil, reduce the heat to medium low so that the water is barely simmering. Let the water heat at that temperature for about ten minutes so the water and pan are evenly heated.

    Add the salmon filets to the water and increase the heat slightly. Do not let the water come to a higher boil than a simmer.

    Poach the salmon for about 8 - 12 minutes depending on thickness. Remove to a paper towel to blot dry. I usually remove the skin and then place salmon on a plate. Looks nice on a bed of mixed greens or arugula. To keep it low cal, squeeze a lemon wedge over it. Discard cooking liquid.

    Of course mayonnaise or salad dressing is tasty, and Julia's tarragon sauce is awesome, but then it is no longer low cal. :wink:

    If you make a double batch of fish, you can have half for one meal and the remainder cold. Tasty either way.
