Ingredients

• 4 pieces White fish fillets (e.g., cod, haddock, or tilapia)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
• 1 medium Cucumber (finely grated)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill (chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt (for dressing)
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper (for dressing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Pat the white fish fillets dry with paper towels and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Brush the fish with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then sprinkle evenly with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper.

Step 4

Bake the fish in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork and is opaque in the center.

Step 5

While the fish is baking, prepare the yogurt cucumber dressing. Start by grating the cucumber using a fine grater. Place the grated cucumber in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out the excess liquid.

Step 6

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, fresh dill, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 7

Once the fish is finished cooking, carefully remove it from the oven and allow it to rest for 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Plate the fish fillets and spoon a generous amount of the yogurt cucumber dressing over each piece. Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, quinoa, or a fresh green salad.
