Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. Place 4 white fish fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil and 2 tbsp lemon juice evenly over the fillets, then season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Spread 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill and 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley on top of the fillets. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Step 2: While the fish bakes, combine 1/4 cup plain yogurt, 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill, 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 cup finely diced cucumber, and 2 tbsp finely chopped red onion in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and set aside to let flavors meld.
- Step 3: Remove fish from oven and serve immediately drizzled with the chilled herb yogurt sauce for a bright, refreshing finish.
