Ingredients

    • 1 white onion, sliced thin
    • 2 garlic cloves, minced
    • 2 small white turnips, peeled and sliced
    • Black pepper to taste
    • 2 salmon fillets (4 oz each), skin on (or halibut or rainbow trout)
    • 1/8 tsp salt
    • 1 Tbsp reduced-calorie trans fat free margarine
    • 1 Tbsp honey
    • 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
    • 2 tsp fresh rosemary (2 sprigs)

Preparation

    • Lightly coat a small skillet with nonstick cooking spray and over medium heat until hot. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 3 minutes, or until onion is softened. Add the turnips and continue to cook, covered, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until turnips are tender. Season turnips with pepper. Set aside.
    • Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Lightly coat a medium skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat until hot. Add the salmon, skin side down, and sear it for about 3 minutes, or until crisp. With a spatula, flip the salmon. Add the margarine, honey, lemon juice and rosemary. Baste the fish until it is medium rare, about 3 minutes. Serve topped with honey sauce and vegetables.
