3
cup nonfat plain yogurt* or whole sour cream**
1

2
cup grainy Dijon-style mustard
2
tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1
small shallot (

ounce), peeled and finely chopped
3

4
ounce fresh dill weed, finely chopped
2 teaspoons
sugar
1
teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1

1

2
teaspoon
salt, and
1
⁄
4
teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Stir with a whisk to blend.
Let stand 30 minutes or longer to allow flavors to develop. The sauce may
be done up to a day ahead. Makes about 1
1
⁄
4
cups sauce.
Brush the salmon fillets with the soy sauce and sprinkle with the remaining
salt and pepper. Let sit for 15 minutes at room temperature. Place the rack
in the toaster oven in position B and preheat on the broil setting. Place the
drip pan in the broiling pan so that the fish will be about 1

2
to 2 inches
from the upper element. Lightly coat the broiler rack with cooking spray
and add
1
⁄
4
cup of water to the drip pan. Arrange the salmon fillets skin
down on the prepared pan. Place in the oven and broil with the oven door
ajar for 14 to 18 minutes; salmon should test 145°–150ºF when tested with
an instant-read thermometer. Serve hot or chilled with the Dijon-dill sauce.
*For a thicker sauce, strain the yogurt for 1 hour or longer using a yogurt
strainer or a strainer lined with a coffee filter; discard the whey (liquid).
**For a richer sauce, use whole sour cream.

proof oval dish. Arrange shrimp evenly over the butter/oil mixture. Pour the
vermouth and the remaining butter/oil mixture over the shrimp. Bake for 8
to 9 minutes. Remove from oven, stir gently to loosen – shrimp should be
beginning to curl and be somewhat opaque and “shrimp” in color. Sprinkle
evenly with breadcrumbs and half the chopped parsley. Return to the oven
for an additional 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove from oven, drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with remaining
chopped parsley. Serve with additional lemon wedges.
