Ingredients
1 English (hothouse) cucumber, halved lengthwise
1 plain nonfat Greek yogurt
1 garlic clove, minced
2 Tbs finely chopped fresh dill
1 Tbs finely chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, divided
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 celery ribs, thinly sliced
1 small onion, sliced
1 carrot, peeled and thinly sliced
3 thyme sprigs
4 (6-oz.) salmon fillets
Directions

1. For the tzatziki, using a box grater, coarsely shred cucumber. Place cucumber in a medium bowl. Add yogurt, garlic, dill, parsley, and 2 tablespoons of the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste; mix well. Cover and refrigerate until serving time.

 

2. For the poaching liquid, fill a straight-sided skillet with a tight-fitting lid with broth. Add remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice, plus celery, onion, carrot and thyme. Cover and bring to boiling. Reduce heat to low; simmer 10 minutes.

 

3. After the poaching liquid has cooked 10 minutes, increase heat to high and bring to boiling. Reduce heat to low; add fillets, skin side up. Cook, covered, 4 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

 

4. Remove fillets from poaching liquid, and let rest 5 minutes. Spoon tzatziki evenly onto 4 plates, top with fillets, and serve.
