re: Something different with salmon?

I swear by slow roasted now. The texture is buttery and the salmon isn't dry at all. I've been touting this regularly.

You can make whatever sauce you like. It doesn't need one. Sometimes, I just brush it with a little melted butter and season it.

I've had it with a yogurt sauce that a culinary student made for us when she showed me the slow roast method. Quite good.

Yogurt Dill Sauce

Tools:
-blender or food processor
-knife and cutting board
-peeler
Ingredients:
-3/4 C part-skim ricotta cheese
-1 C fat-free Greek yogurt
-1/2 medium cucumber
-1 T fresh dill
-3/4 t minced garlic
-1 fl. oz. lemon juice
-1/8 t sea salt
-1/4 t ground pepper (more or less to taste)

First, peel your cucumber and cut in half lengthwise. Deseed (a grapefruit spoon is quite handy for this) and cut into pieces about 1/2" to 1" in size.

Rough chop your dill. Don't worry about getting it chopped too fine as it will be going into the blender.


Put yogurt, ricotta cheese and lemon juice in blender or food processor and puree until smooth.


Add garlic, dill, cucumbers, salt and pepper and pulse until ingredients are well incorporated.

Put sauce in airtight container and keep in refrigerator for up to a week. Yields 1 pint

Great as a vegetable dip, salad dressing, spread for sandwiches or a sauce for salmon.
