Ingredients:

(1) egg, beaten
(1/4) cup of finely chopped onion
(2) tablespoons of fine, dry bread crumbs
(1) 6.75 ounces canned skinless, boneless salmon (canned salmon preferred, or tuna if necessary), drained
(1) cup of fresh or frozen peas
(2) tablespoons of water
(1/4) cup of plain low fat yogurt
(2) teaspoons of cornstarch

Preparation:

* Stir together the egg, onion and bread crumbs in a medium mixing bowl. Add in the salmon (or tuna) and mix well.

* Combine peas and water in a 1-quart casserole dish. Cook on high, covered, for 3-5 minutes or until tender - stirring once. Drain into a strainer and set aside.
* In the now empty casserole dish, stir together the yogurt, cornstarch, bouillon granules and lemon peel - then stir in the milk all at once.
* Cook, uncovered, on high for 2-5 minutes or until thickened and bubbly, stirring after 1 minute then every 30 seconds. Now stir in the peas and keep warm.
* Cook the salmon cups, covered with clear plastic wrap (with holes poked through for ventilation) on high for 2-4 minutes or until set.
