Cedar Baked Salmon with Watercress Yogurt Sauce

1 1/2 pounds salmon fillets, boneless and skinless 
2 cedar shingles�untreated 
Canola cooking spray 
1 bunch watercress, picked and blanched 
1 green onion, chopped 
1/2 cup light vanilla yogurt 
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped 
2 tablespoons light sour cream 
2 tablespoons fat-free half-and-half (or low-fat milk)

1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard 
1/2 teaspoon black pepper 
1/2 teaspoon salt 

Soak cedar shingles in water for 2 hours. Dry briefly,
then coat the cooking side of the shingle with canola
cooking spray. Place salmon fillets on the cedar
shingles and bake at 425 degrees for 10-15 minutes,
depending on the thickness of the salmon (about 10-12
minutes per inch at the thickest end). Meanwhile, chop
blanched watercress and add it to an 8-cup measure or
medium sized bowl, along with the green onions,
yogurt, dill, sour cream, half-and-half or milk,
Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, black pepper and
salt. Serve each salmon filet with a healthy dollop of
the watercress yogurt sauce.
