CHICKEN (OR SALMON) IN A ZESTY LEMON CREAM SAUCE
I adapted this recipe from one I found in a South Beach diet cookbook. The original recipe is with broiled salmon, I prefer it with chicken, but still prepare it both ways. It's fast, easy, and so yummy. Tastes a bit like a creamy chicken picatta.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest salmon possible. Fresh salmon will have a bright pink color and a firm texture. Avoid salmon that is dull or has a slimy texture.
- Cook the salmon to your desired doneness. Salmon can be cooked to rare, medium-rare, medium, or well-done. Rare salmon will be slightly translucent in the center, while well-done salmon will be opaque throughout.
- Make sure the sauce is thick enough. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If it is too thin, add a little more cornstarch or flour.
- Serve the salmon and sauce immediately. Do not let the salmon sit in the sauce for too long, or it will become overcooked.
