Orange Salmon Packets

YIELD: 4 servings, each with less than 2 grams of carbohydrates, a trace of fiber, and 24 grams of protein.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1/4 cup plain yogurt
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1/4 teaspoon orange extract
• 1 tablespoon Splenda
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 scallions, finely minced
• 1 tablespoon parsley, finely minced
• 1 pound salmon fillets

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2. Combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, orange extract, Splenda, lemon juice, scallions, and parsley. Set aside.
3. If your salmon fillets have skin on them, remove it, and cut the fish into 4 serving-size pieces.
4. Tear 4 large squares of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Place each piece of salmon in the center of a square of foil, and spoon 2 tablespoons of the sauce over it. Fold the foil up over the salmon, bringing the edges together, and roll the edges to make a tight seal. Roll up each end, as well.
5. When all your salmon fillets are snug in their own little packets, bake them for 15 minutes. (You can put your salmon packets in a roasting pan, if you’re afraid they’ll spring a leak, but I just put mine right on the oven rack.)
6. Place on individual serving plates, cut open, and serve. If you have a little sauce left over, serve it on the side.
