Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 pound uncooked salmon (wild caught)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 pinch salt

Aioli Ingredients

  • ¼ cup light mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly spray the skillet with nonstick spray.
  • Rinse the salmon and pat it dry. Season with ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper and a pinch of salt.
  • Cook the salmon skin-side down for about four minutes. Leave it alone and don't move it too much, you'll want to get a nice sear on the bottom.

  • Whisk together the aioli ingredients in a small bowl and spoon over top of the salmon.
