Ingredients

  • 1 2.75 pound fresh or frozen skinless salmon fillet

  • 1 teaspoon multi-colored peppercorns, coarsely crushed

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 2 teaspoon olive oil

  • ¾ cup plain fat-free yogurt

  • 1 tablespoon honey

  • 1 tablespoon snipped fresh parsley

  • 1 lime

  • ½ minced fresh ginger

Directions

  1. Thaw fish, if frozen. Rinse fish; pat dry. Sprinkle fish with crushed peppercorns and salt; gently press peppercorns into salmon. In an extra-large nonstick skillet heat oil over medium-high heat. Add fish; cook about 6 minutes or until fish flakes easily, turning once.

  2. Meanwhile, for yogurt-lime sauce, remove zest and squeeze 2 tsp. juice from lime. In a bowl combine 1/2 tsp. of the zest, the lime juice, yogurt, honey, parsley, and ginger.

  3. Cut fish into serving-size pieces; serve with yogurt-lime sauce. If desired, sprinkle with additional lime zest.
