Recipe Notes

This recipe is especially intended for moms or individuals who are always on the go and do not have a lot of time to prepare meals as you only have to mix in the sauce and the ingredients and put it in the fridge.

 

I have successfully cooked smaller salmon steaks on a George Foreman Grill which can speed up the process. If you are rushed for time, you can make this in as little as 30 minutes.

 

Also, the sauce should be good for a week or more so you can prepare it ahead of time.

 

To reduce the calories, I replaced the traditional sour cream with Greek Yogurt and I actually like it this way better. This dish goes very well with grilled asparagus on the side.
