Poached Salmon with Dill Sauce

When the weather starts to get a little warmer, and I start thinking spring, I automatically think salmon.  This recipe is so easy, but so delicious.  The dill sauce is better if you put it together a few hours ahead of time, but you can eat it right away if you don’t have that kind of time.  The whole entree only takes about fifteen minutes to put together and is company worthy.  And, to make it even better, it is good for you.  The salmon is poached in chicken broth that only has 1/2 gram of fat per cup, and the dill sauce uses fat free Greek yogurt.  And, the salmon itself contains healthy fat making this a wonderful entree for every possible reason.  The recipe is one I adapted from this one on the Taste of Home website.
