Greek Lemon Sauce

WV Mermaid's Note:

This is a very healthy, delicately flavored yellow lemon sauce that is perfect over roasted leg of lamb. The Greeks often use it with lamb. The recipe is also very easy to prepare. This sauce may also be used in soups and stews.

This is IT! My husband's family is Greek/Turkish. They make a poached salmon first course dish with a sauce like this. I've never made it before (they don't have written recipes), made it last night with tilapia, my husband gave it a 12! It's definitely the bomb!
