– Grilled Salmon & Asparagus with Cream Sauce –
With the holidays around the corner, it´s time to get your menu ready for the big days ahead. For me, I like to make and serve dishes that are loaded with flavor and have a beautiful presentation, however, I don´t want to slave all day in the kitchen. This here recipe for Grilled Salmon & Asparagus with Cream Sauce is a big winner for me. It ´s a dish that is done in under 25 minutes from start to finish, yet it has the presentation that we all expect from a holiday dinner dish. Funny enough, I like to enjoy this salmon dish all year-round.
A Healthy Recipe with Zero-Guilt
For those of you that know me, I always tend to make my dishes healthier than they sound, for example, the salmon in this dish is not fried, it is pan grilled (no oil in the pan 🙂 ), make sure to use a non-stick frying pan for this method of cooking. My cream sauce is made with Greek yogurt, not cream and butter. All these little touches actually give this dish a lot more flavor and won´t make you feel bloated when you’re done eating (more room for holiday cookies!!!).
