Salmon with Mustard Cream
In our household, one of the things we look for in a recipe is how quickly and easily can it be prepared. This is a regular “go to” recipe that is both healthful and easy to make. It is also delicious. I found this recipe at www.myrecipes.com, which is where I find many of my recipes. They have a wonderful advanced search where you can specify what type of recipe you are looking for such as, low carbohydrate, low fat, gluten free, among others.
SALMON WITH MUSTARD CREAM
4 (6 ounce) skinless salmon fillets
1/8 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1/2 cup low-fat sour cream (I often use fat-free plain greek yogurt)
1-1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill (I sometimes use freeze dried)

Food Diary
Here’s the food diary I give to all my clients. Rather than focus on calories, my clients are asked to be mindful of what they’re eating, when they’re eating, their fullness, and their mood. This helps create a much more comprehensive view and understanding of an individual’s eating habits.
