Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-8 oz each) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons (finely chopped) fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler on high and position the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Brush this mixture evenly over the top of the salmon fillets.
Place the salmon under the broiler and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Watch closely to avoid overcooking.
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the dill mustard sauce. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard, 3 tablespoons of Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh dill, 1 teaspoon of honey, and 1 teaspoon of lemon zest. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 1-2 minutes.
Serve the broiled salmon hot, drizzled with the dill mustard sauce. Pair with steamed vegetables or a side salad for a complete meal.
