​Ingredients

• 4 - 6 oz salmon filets 
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• salt and pepper to taste
• lemon wedges for garnish if desired

Lemon Dill Sauce

• 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1.5 tbsp dill (chopped if using fresh) (we use freeze dried but fresh works well too)
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 1 tsp granulated garlic
• salt and pepper to taste

​

Preparation​​​ ​

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Place salmon on a foil lined baking tray. Drizzle top with olive oil, salt and pepper. Bake for 12-16 minutes depending on the thickness of salmon filet. Once internal temperature reaches about 135 degrees, remove from oven and let rest until 145 degrees internally (the safe cooking point of salmon).
• While salmon is baking, mix together dill sauce ingredients. Set aside.
• Once salmon is cooked to your liking, spoon dill sauce on top. Garnish with lemon wedge if desired and serve.
