Description

This baked salmon recipe is topped with a creamy dill sauce, perfect for a healthy dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (skin on or off)
  • to taste Kosher salt
  • to taste Black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped dill
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 6 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons water

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  2. Generously sprinkle the salmon with kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper. Place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Bake the salmon for about 10 minutes until flaky and just cooked; test it with a fork to assess doneness. Watch the salmon to make sure not to overcook; the timing can vary based on the thickness of the salmon and variations between ovens.
  4. While the salmon bakes, mix together the sauce ingredients, adding the water last. Use the water to bring it to a loose, drizzle-able consistency. You may need a touch more depending on your yogurt brand.
  5. Serve the salmon and garnish each fillet with 2 tablespoons of the lemon dill sauce. Save leftover sauce refrigerated.

Notes

  • Use fresh dill for the best flavor.
  • Adjust the consistency of the sauce with more or less water depending on your preference.
