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
• 0 optional: extra dill or parsley for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and place them skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Brush the salmon fillets with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder evenly.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Plate each salmon fillet and top with a generous dollop of herbed yogurt sauce. Garnish with additional dill or parsley if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
