Pan-Roasted Salmon
Olive oil spray
3/4 pound fresh salmon fillet
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons mild curry powder
1 tablespoon apricot jam
1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
Heat a medium-size nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and spray with olive oil spray. Add the salmon fillet, skin side up. Cover with a lid and saute 4 minutes. Turn salmon over and add salt and pepper to taste to the cooked side. Cover and cook 2 minutes. When a knife is inserted, the flesh should be opaque not translucent. Do not overcook. The salmon will continue to cook when removed from the heat. While salmon roasts, mix curry powder, apricot jam and mayonnaise together. Divide cooked salmon between two dinner plates and immediately spoon sauce on top.
