    Grilled Salmon with Watercress

    Salmon is best known as a source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are also found in other fatty fish (such as sardines and mackerel) as well as a small marine creature called krill. But this flavorful fish is packed with protein and minerals as well, especially potassium and selenium.

    1/2 cup buttermilk

    3 tbsp mayonnaise

    1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

    1 tsp Dijon mustard

    1 tsp chopped fresh dill

    1 small clove garlic, minced

    23 shakes of your favorite hot sauce

    1 lb coho or Chinook salmon fillet, skin on, pin bones removed, cut into 4 equal portions

    Fine sea salt

    Freshly ground black pepper

    2 bunches watercress

    2 cups rye croutons*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

    1. Preheat a grill over high heat. (Make sure the grates are clean and oiled.)

    3.Season the salmon with salt and pepper and grill (with the lid down), skin side down, for 7–10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 120°F for medium-rare. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
