Ingredients

2 Tablespoons light sour cream
1 tablespoon Mayonnaise or salad dressing
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon dried dill weed
Fresh dill, for garnish
Carrots, sliced
Bouillon
Water
Rice, uncooked
Green beans, trimmed
2 fillets Salmon
Lemon-pepper seasoning

Directions

1
In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and dried dill weed until smooth. Set aside.
2
In a large nonstick skillet, combine the sliced carrots, bouillon, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
3
Stir in the uncooked rice and green beans. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2 minutes.
4
Cut the salmon fillets into two serving-sized pieces.
5
Place the salmon pieces directly on top of the rice and bean mixture, skin side down.
6
Sprinkle the salmon generously with lemon-pepper seasoning.
7
Increase heat slightly to return the liquid to a boil, then immediately reduce heat to medium-low.
8
Cover the skillet and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed, the rice is tender, and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
9
Carefully remove the salmon from the skillet and place on a serving platter.
10
Fluff the rice and vegetable mixture with a fork and spoon it onto the platter around the salmon.
11
Serve the creamy dill sauce on the side or drizzled over the fish. Garnish with fresh dill if desired.

Note

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The rice may absorb more sauce upon storage.

Substitutions: You can substitute the salmon with other firm white fish fillets like cod or halibut, but adjust cooking time as thinner fillets cook faster. Use low-sodium bouillon to control saltiness.

Tips: Ensure the skillet is large enough to hold the rice and vegetables in a single layer for even cooking. If using frozen green beans, add them directly to the skillet without thawing, but you may need to add an extra minute of cooking time.
