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
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Generously sprinkle the salmon with kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper. Place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
