Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lemon, juiced and zested
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt

Instructions

- Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Serve the baked lemon garlic salmon with a dollop of dill yogurt sauce on top, and garnish with additional fresh dill if desired.
- Enjoy your delicious and healthy meal!
The Baked Lemon Garlic Salmon with a dill yogurt sauce is a delightful dish that combines the freshness of salmon with the zesty flavors of lemon and garlic, topped with a creamy and herby dill yogurt sauce. This dish has its roots in Mediterranean cuisine, where the use of fresh herbs and citrus flavors is prominent. Renowned chefs like Ina Garten and Gordon Ramsay have popularized this recipe, adding their own unique twists. The best version of this dish can be found in coastal regions where fresh salmon is abundant, such as the Pacific Northwest in the United States or Scandinavia. The key to perfecting this dish lies in sourcing high-quality salmon and using fresh, vibrant ingredients for the marinade and sauce. For a unique twist, some chefs also grill the salmon instead of baking it, adding a smoky flavor to the dish. Whether baked or grilled, this dish is a must-try for seafood lovers.
