Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with 1 tbsp olive oil.
  2. Step 2: Place 4 salmon fillets skin-side down on the baking sheet. Drizzle 2 tbsp olive oil evenly over the fillets and season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  3. Step 3: Arrange 8 lemon slices and 1/2 cup pitted halved kalamata olives around and on top of the salmon.
  4. Step 4: Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Step 5: While the salmon roasts, prepare the herb yogurt sauce by combining 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tbsp olive oil in a small bowl. Mix until smooth.
  6. Step 6: Serve the roasted salmon topped with the herb yogurt sauce alongside the roasted lemons and olives.
