Broiled Salmon With Garlic Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter, soft
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup evaporated skim milk, skim
1 tablespoon cooking sherry
1/4 - 1/2 cup skim milk
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice, fresh
4 salmon steaks, 1 inch thick
salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon butter, in small pieces

Preparation

Preheat broiler.
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and saute garlic for 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat and add flour, mixing well with a whisk. Return to medium heat and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring often.
Add evaporated milk, a little at a time, continuing to whisk sauce as it thickens.
Add sherry and allow sauce to simmer. Stir in 1/4 cup lowfat milk or more, if needed, to thin sauce to a creamy consistency (should lightly coat a spoon).
Add lemon juice and blend well; set aside.
Place fish in a small broiling pan that has been sprayed with a non-stick cooking spray. Season lightly with pepper.
Dot each piece with butter and broil for 4-5 minutes per side. Salmon is cooked when fish is no longer translucent. Do not overcook.
Serve immediately with reserved sauce.
