  • ½ cup whole milk buttermilk (or milk)
  • ½ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons chili powder, divided
  • 4 (6-oz) sockeye (or coho) salmon fillets, skin removed (thawed, if needed)

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped

Prep

    • Always check fish for bones.

Steps

    1. Whisk in medium bowl: dry ranch mix, buttermilk, yogurt, and ½ teaspoon chili powder until blended.
    2. Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Season salmon with salt, pepper, and remaining 1 teaspoon chili powder (wash hands). Place oil in pan, then add salmon; cook 3–4 minutes on each side and until salmon is 145°F (or opaque and separates easily).
