Wow, that looks yummy! I'm gonna try this on guests over the weekend. I have a nice Alaska salmon in the freezer.

BTW, Linda, I read that you like the Grapeseed oil Vegenaise. I do too, but I recently found in another store a "Light" Vegenaise, same brand name. It isn't Grapeseed Oil, but it does have flax oil and I can't remember what other oil. Not as rich tasting as the Grapeseed item, but better than any other light mayo I've found to date. Normally I really dislike light mayo , but this has a good flavor, and will certainly satisfy any call for mayo.

I was surprised to find it -- I thought Fred Meyer (Kroger) carried the full line of Vegenaise products. You can always ask the manager of the store near you that carries the grapeseed mayo to get in some of the light mayo too, as it is the same producer. And it was a pretty significant reduction in fat content. Thought you might like to check it out.

Now I'm hungry.
Thanks for posting this.

Here was my comment and their response on that site:

Linda Harris: Wonder how the sauce would be if you used Greek Yogurt instead of Mayo?

Vitacost.com CS Good idea Linda. Use yogurt, garlic and some shredded cucumber with it and you will have a great Tzatziki sauce. Should go great with the fish. You could even use the Tzatziki sauce and shred the fish for some awesome fish tacos.
