Eating healthier doesn't have to equal boring! Our Skinny Poached Salmon is cooked in a flavor-locking foil packet, and then drizzled with a Dijon mustard glaze. It's a recipe that'll make your tummy happy, and before you know it...smaller!

What You'll Need

  • 4 (4-ounce) salmon fillets
  • Salt and pepper for sprinkling
  • 4 slice lemon
  • 4 sprigs dill plus 1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill, divided
  • 1/4 cup white wine
  • 3 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 teaspoon Dijon mustard

What to Do

  1. Place 4 pieces of aluminum foil each about 8 inches long on a flat surface. Place a salmon fillet on each piece of foil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place a slice of lemon and sprig of dill on top of each fillet. Pour a tablespoon of wine over each fillet, then fold up ends of foil, making sure seams are closed.
  2. Place a steamer basket in a large pot or deep skillet. Over high heat, bring an inch of water to a boil. Carefully place the foil packets in the steamer basket and cook 8 to 10 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork.
  3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk vinegar, oil, mustard, and chopped dill. Open foil packets carefully, remove salmon to a serving platter, and drizzle with glaze; serve immediately.
