Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh dill
- 1 whole (zested and juiced) lemon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Brush the mixture evenly over the salmon fillets.
Step 4
Sprinkle the chopped fresh dill and lemon zest over the salmon fillets.
Step 5
Drizzle the juice of half the lemon over the salmon.
Step 6
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 7
While the salmon is baking, prepare the dill sauce by combining Greek yogurt, the remaining lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Mix well.
Step 8
Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a minute.
Step 9
Serve the salmon fillets with a generous dollop of the dill yogurt sauce on top or on the side. Garnish with additional fresh dill if desired.
