Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place 4 salmon fillets skin-side down.
  2. Step 2: Drizzle 2 tbsp olive oil evenly over the salmon, then sprinkle 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp paprika on top.
  3. Step 3: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Step 4: While salmon bakes, combine 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice, 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh dill, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp lemon zest in a small bowl. Stir well to create the lemon-dill sauce.
  5. Step 5: Remove salmon from oven and serve immediately with a generous spoonful of the lemon-dill sauce on top.
