Tonight's Salmon Meal

Tonight for dinner I decided to go healthy.  When I got home, I marinated a salmon filet in grapefruit juice mixed with a little prosecco and Thai spices.  I let it marinate for about 30 minutes while I threw some red new potatoes into the oven that I had rubbed with some olive oil and seasoning in a foil pouch.  I had the oven warmed up to 400 degrees before throwing the potatoes in.

After the salmon had marinated a while, I tossed it into the oven to bake on some parchment paper for 20 minutes.  I threw the marinade into a pot to reduce while it was baking to make a sauce, and set up a steamer basket in another pot to make some green beans.

When the timer dinged, I turned the oven off and threw the beans in the steamer while I mixed up some plain greek yogurt with some Thai spice to make a sour cream replacement for the potatoes.

I pulled the potatoes and salmon out of the oven, plated it up, smashed the potatoes and poured some of the yogurt over them, then plated up the green beans and poured a little yogurt on them too.  To finish it off, I took the reduced marinade and poured it over the salmon.

It was such an incredibly tasty dinner, and healthy too!  I am definitely going to use more yogurt to make sauces.  It made the potatoes sing, without adding much fat.  My doctor would be pleased!  It almost rivaled my meal earlier today at Craft!
