Instructions


1.

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup (optional).

2.

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle each fillet with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. You can also place a lemon slice on top of each fillet for added flavor.

3.

Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until it's cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.

4.

While the salmon is baking, prepare the dill yogurt sauce. In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, chopped dill, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.

5.

Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a minute or two.

6.

Serve the baked salmon with a generous dollop of dill yogurt sauce on top. Garnish with extra fresh dill or a lemon wedge, if desired.

Notes


1.

For a richer flavor, you can use full-fat Greek yogurt in the sauce.

2.

If you don't have fresh dill, you can use dried dill, but use about half the amount (1 tablespoon).

3.

You can add other herbs to the yogurt sauce, such as chives or parsley.

4.

Serve with a side of roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a simple salad for a complete meal.
