Broiled Salmon with Creamy Lemon Sauce

My husband LOVES this recipe, because he loves lemon-y type things. I am not a HUGE fan of lemon, but even I love this dish. It's super easy, and most ingredients you probably have in your cabinets right now! This is from one of the South Beach recipe books. Enjoy!

Servings: 4

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons capers
1 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
1/2 cup fat-free sour cream
1 1/2 pounds salmon fillet

Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

Heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Reduce heat to low. Stir in the lemon juice, capers, and lemon-pepper seasoning and cook for 5 minutes. Add the sour cream and cook for 5 minutes, or until heated through.

Meanwhile, place the salmon on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the fish is just opaque. Serve with the sauce.

Note: I've made this without capers, and it turns out just fine :) You might want to add a pinch of salt to the sauce if you don't use this ingredient.
