How to make salmon in a mayonnaise dill sauce

Salmon contains vitamins and minerals to make a healthy meal.

Whether it's farmed or wild, fresh or frozen, salmon makes a healthy meal thanks to the Omega-3 fatty acids and array of vitamins (including D and A) and minerals it contains. While there are a variety of ways to prepare this fish, using a mayonnaise dill sauce gives it a whole new dimension. You can create it using items that most people already have in their fridge or pantry.

• Medium-sized pan or cookie sheet
• Aluminum foil
• Cooking spray
• 4 salmon filets
• Small bowl
• 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons melted butter or margarine
• 1 1/2 tablespoons dill
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 small onion
• 1/2 cup almonds

Instructions

2. Mix mayonnaise, melted butter, dill, parmesan cheese and lemon juice in a small mixing bowl until thoroughly blended. Spread mixture evenly over each salmon filet.

3. Slice small onion into curls and place two or more curls on top of each filet.

4. Place a small number of almonds over each filet.

5. Cover the pan loosely with a piece of aluminum foil. Bake covered for 40 minutes. Remove foil and broil for two to five minutes. Remove from oven and serve.
