Health benefits of Poached Salmon with Greek Yogurt Tzatziki compliments of Dannon® Light and Fit®

Salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for reducing inflammation and promoting cardiovascular health. It is also rich in vitamin D, which helps regulate insulin levels and improve mood, both of which are important for managing PCOS symptoms. Additionally, salmon provides a good amount of B vitamins, particularly B12, which supports energy production and helps maintain healthy nerve function. Including salmon in your diet can help balance hormones, reduce inflammation, and support overall well-being.

Ingredients

4 (4-oz.) thick boneless, skinless salmon pieces
1 cup white wine with 2 cups water
1 small bunch chives, divided
1 cup Dannon® Light & Fit® Plain Greek Nonfat Yogurt
1/2 cup finely diced, seedless cucumber, peeled
3 Tbsp. minced fresh dill
2 Tbsp. minced fresh chives
Pinch (1/16 tsp) ground red pepper
Watercress sprigs

Instructions

Place salmon into an even layer in a saucepan along with wine, water and 4 chives, making sure liquid covers salmon pieces. Bring slowly to a very low simmer over a very low heat. Remove from heat and let salmon finish cooking in the liquid. Bring to room temperature. Chill fish in refrigerator until poaching liquid gels and fish is cooled completely.* Remove fish from poaching liquid and hold until ready to serve. Reserve poaching liquid in a container in freezer for another use.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk together Dannon Light & Fit Plain Greek Nonfat Yogurt, cucumber, dill, chives and pepper until mixed. Place in a covered container and refrigerate until ready to serve.
To Serve: Line a small platter with watercress sprigs and top with chilled, cooked salmon pieces. Spoon 1/4 cup yogurt sauce over top of each piece and serve.
*Fish may also be served hot or warm or at room temperature instead of chilled.
