Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon honey
- optional: extra dill or parsley for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the salmon fillets with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder evenly.
Place the salmon in the preheated oven and roast for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
While the salmon is roasting, prepare the herbed yogurt sauce. In a small mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, fresh dill, fresh parsley, lemon juice, lemon zest, and honey. Mix well until smooth.
Taste the yogurt sauce and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice if needed. Set aside in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.
Plate each salmon fillet and top with a generous dollop of herbed yogurt sauce. Garnish with additional dill or parsley if desired.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
