Ingredients:

Serving

1 celery stalk , cut into 2-inch pieces
1 bunch scallions, greens sliced into 1/2-inch pieces, whites left whole, divided
1 lemon, halved: cut half into slices, zest and juice remaining half (1/2 tsp zest
1 tsp kosher salt, divided
3/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper, divided
4 (6-oz) salmon fillets, skinned (about 2 inches thick )
1/2 cup plain low-fat yogurt
2 tbsp chopped fresh dill plus 1/2 cup fronds, divided
1/2 tsp grated fresh horseradish
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
2 bunches watercress, thick stems removed (about 8 cups)
1 cup sugar snap peas , thinly sliced crosswise (3 oz)
1 small bunch radishes, sliced (1 1/2 cups)

Directions:

Fill a high-sided skillet or large pot with 6 cups water; add celery, scallion whites, and lemon slices to pot. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat; cover, reduce heat, and simmer. Cook until fragrant (8-10 minutes). Add salmon (water should just cover fillets) to pot; cover and gently simmer until fish is opaque (5-8 minutes). With tongs or a fish spatula, remove salmon from broth; set aside on a cutting board to cool.
While fish is poaching, make the dressing: In a medium bowl, combine yogurt, chopped dill, horseradish, lemon zest, lemon juice, oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, whisking well. Arrange watercress, snap peas, radishes, and dill fronds on 4 plates; top with salmon, and sprinkle with scallion greens. Drizzle with dressing; serve.
