Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillet
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 medium (peeled, seeded, and finely chopped) cucumber
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh dill
- 1 clove (minced) garlic
- 1 teaspoon honey
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle them with olive oil and lemon juice, and season with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 4
While the salmon is baking, prepare the cucumber sauce. In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, chopped cucumber, fresh dill, minced garlic, and honey.
Step 5
Stir the cucumber sauce until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt if needed.
Step 6
Once the salmon is fully cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Step 7
Serve the salmon warm, topped with a generous spoonful of the cucumber sauce. Pair with your favorite sides such as rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
