Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (skin on or off)
- kosher salt
- black pepper
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped dill
- 1/4 cup greek yogurt
- 6 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F.
- Sprinkle the salmon fillets generously with kosher salt and black pepper, then place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake the salmon for about 10 minutes, or until it’s flaky and just cooked through. Check for doneness with a fork, while keeping an eye on the cooking time as it may vary based on the salmon thickness and oven variations.
- In a separate bowl, combine the sauce ingredients, mixing in the water last to achieve a drizzle-able consistency; you may need to adjust the water based on your yogurt’s thickness.
- Serve each salmon fillet garnished with 2 tablespoons of the lemon dill sauce. Store any leftover sauce in the refrigerator.
Notes
Adjust the amount of dill based on personal taste or availability.
Consider using fresh lemon juice for a brighter flavor in the sauce.
