Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 1 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 light spray olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray it with olive oil cooking spray.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Season the salmon fillets evenly with 0.5 teaspoon of sea salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the low-fat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, chopped fresh dill, garlic powder, onion powder, 0.5 teaspoon sea salt, and the remaining 0.25 teaspoon black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Spoon half of the creamy dill sauce over the tops of the salmon fillets, spreading it evenly to coat the surface of each fillet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Serve each fillet with a dollop of the remaining creamy dill sauce on top or on the side. Pair with your choice of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
