Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 0.25 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly oil it to prevent sticking.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down if applicable.
Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil and drizzle lemon juice over the top.
Season the salmon evenly with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is baking, prepare the dill mustard sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, Greek yogurt, fresh dill, honey, and lemon zest until well combined.
When the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.
Serve the baked salmon warm, topped with the dill mustard sauce. Garnish with extra dill, if desired.
