Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place 4 salmon fillets skin-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle 2 tbsp olive oil over the fillets and season evenly with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
- Step 2: Roast the salmon in the oven for 12-15 minutes until the flesh flakes easily with a fork but is still moist.
- Step 3: While the salmon roasts, mix together 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh dill, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 tsp lemon zest in a small bowl until smooth.
- Step 4: Remove salmon from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes. Serve each fillet topped with a generous spoonful of the garlic-dill yogurt sauce.
