Broiled Salmon with Dill-Caper Sauce is a quick, easy, nutrient-dense entree with a make-ahead sauce worthy serving to guests.

Featured Ingredients

Salmon is an incredible source of over twenty nutrients including vitamins, minerals, functional fats, and phytonutrients. It is a top food source of EPA & DHA, offering over 50% of the daily value per 4-ounce serving, and comes in a variety of types that you can easily find at your grocery store including farmed Atlantic salmon, wild Atlantic salmon, sockeye salmon, pink salmon and coho salmon.

Olive oil is consistently linked with health benefits, including reducing cardiovascular disease risk (both heart disease and stroke), Alzheimer’s risk, and cancer risk, improving blood sugar regulation and insulin sensitivity, reducing likelihood of weight gain (and maybe even aid in weight loss), reducing joint pain and swelling in rheumatoid arthritis, and generally reduce markers of inflammation.

Herbs and spices do so much more than flavor our food! As concentrated sources of beneficial phytonutrients, they provide diverse health benefits such as reducing risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and even some forms of cancer.

Ingredients

For the Dill-Caper Sauce

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 3 tablespoons dill fresh, chopped
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Broiled Salmon

• 1 pound salmon divided into four servings
• 1/2 teaspoon salt (truffle salt even better)
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 1/2 teaspoons thyme fresh, chopped (about 5 to 6 sprigs)

Instructions

For the Dill-Caper Sauce

• To make the dill-caper sauce, combine the mayonnaise, dill, and 2 tablespoons of capers. Taste and add an additional tablespoons of capers, if desired. Store the sauce in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve the salmon.

For the Broiled Salmon

• Place a rack high up in the oven so that the surface of the salmon will be 6 to 8 inches from the top element. Turn the broiler to high and let it preheat for about 10 minutes before putting the salmon in the oven. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with the olive oil.
• Place the salmon fillets skin side down on the oiled baking sheet. Sprinkle with the truffle salt and thyme.
• Broiled for 8 to 9 minutes, until the segments flake apart easily and the salmon is opaque throughout. Serve with the dill-caper sauce.
