Herb-Crusted Salmon with Lemon-Dill Sauce
Ingredients:
4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
1/4 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Lemon-Dill Sauce:
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Prepare the Salmon:
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, parsley, thyme, dill, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Press the breadcrumb mixture onto the top of each salmon fillet, creating a crust.
Bake the Salmon:
Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and the crust is golden brown.
Make the Lemon-Dill Sauce:
While the salmon bakes, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, dill, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Stir until smooth and well combined.
Serve:
Once the salmon is done, serve it with a generous dollop of lemon-dill sauce on top.
Garnish with extra fresh dill or lemon slices, if desired.
