Salmon is a DASH diet favorite—rich in omega-3s and naturally flavorful. This version is oven-baked and served with a creamy Greek yogurt sauce infused with dill, garlic, and lemon. It’s elegant yet simple enough for a weekday meal.
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (4–6 oz each)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
For the sauce:
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove, grated
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Drizzle with olive oil, season with pepper, paprika, and salt (if using). Bake 12–15 minutes or until flaky.
- Mix yogurt sauce ingredients in a small bowl.
- Serve salmon warm with a dollop of the garlic-dill sauce.
Flavor & Texture
Moist, buttery salmon with a crispy edge, balanced by the cool, tangy yogurt sauce and a burst of fresh dill. It smells like lemon and herbs and tastes like coastal sunshine.
