"Many cooks are intimidated by cooking fresh fish and, as a result, miss out on the heart-healthy, brain-boosting, omega-3 fatty acids in salmon. Never fear, though; This fast fish recipe is foolproof."

Ingredients

1 pound Alaskan King Salmon (skinned*, sliced into 4 3-ounce pieces)
4 tablespoons lime juice (fresh; two limes)
1 cup coconut (unsweetened shredded)
1 egg
2 tablespoons water (cold)
salt to taste
black pepper to taste
Optional: chopped fresh tomatoes

Creamy Dill Sauce

1/3 cup plain greek yogurt (or sour cream)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill, plus additional for topping
1/3 cup mayo (i use reduced fat)
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
milk to thin, as needed

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a large baking sheet with nonstick foil. Season salmon generously with salt and pepper on both sides and place on prepared pan. Fold foil up around the sides slightly to create "walls" around the salmon to keep the juices from running out.
In a small bowl whisk together melted butter, honey, juice of lemon, garlic, and dried dill. Pour sauce over salmon. Add sliced lemons over salmon.
Bake for 15 minutes, then broil for 3-5 minutes until edges begin to darken.
While salmon is baking, prepare the sauce by stirring together greek yogurt, mayo, lemon juice, dill, and pepper. Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until mixture is very smooth.
When rohu is finished cooking, spoon sauces from the pan over the salmon. Serve pieces of salmon with creamy dill sauce and garnish with additional black pepper, lemon wedges, and fresh dill.
