Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
- 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)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 piece garlic clove (minced)
- 1 teaspoon honey
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush them with olive oil on both sides and season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is baking, prepare the yogurt dill sauce. In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, chopped dill, lemon juice, minced garlic, and honey. Stir well to mix all the ingredients evenly.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed by adding a pinch of salt or more lemon juice for tanginess.
Once the salmon is ready, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Serve the salmon warm, topped with a generous spoonful of the yogurt dill sauce. Garnish with extra dill if desired.
