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!

Serves: 4

Cooking Time: 10 minutes

What You'll Need:

4 (4-ounce) salmon fillets

Salt and pepper for sprinkling

4 slices lemon

4 sprigs dill plus 1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill, divided

1/4 cup white wine

3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar

3 tablespoons olive oil

3 teaspoons 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.
