Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
- 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)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 piece garlic clove (minced)
- 1 teaspoon honey
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Step 2
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush them with olive oil on both sides and season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 3
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 4
While the salmon is baking, prepare the yogurt dill sauce. In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, chopped dill, lemon juice, minced garlic, and honey. Stir well to mix all the ingredients evenly.
Step 5
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed by adding a pinch of salt or more lemon juice for tanginess.
Step 6
Once the salmon is ready, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Step 7
Serve the salmon warm, topped with a generous spoonful of the yogurt dill sauce. Garnish with extra dill if desired.
