Salmon with Feta Dill Sauce Recipe

Ingredients

For the Salmon:

• 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Zest of 1 lemon

For the Feta Dill Sauce:

• ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
• ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Salmon

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.
2. Pat the salmon dry and place skin-side down on the sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and lemon zest.

Step 2: Bake

1. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork (internal temp of 145°F / 63°C).

Step 3: Make the Sauce

1. While the salmon bakes, mix the yogurt, feta, dill, lemon juice, and garlic in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Optional: Thin the sauce with 1–2 teaspoons of water for a drizzle-able consistency.

Step 4: Serve

1. Plate the salmon and spoon the feta dill sauce generously over the top.
2. Serve with rice, quinoa, couscous, or roasted veggies for a complete meal.

Tips & Variations

• Grill it! This salmon is also amazing grilled—just reduce the cooking time slightly and use foil for easier cleanup.
• Make it dairy-free: Try coconut yogurt and dairy-free feta if you’re avoiding dairy.
• Leftover sauce? It’s fantastic as a dip for veggies, spread for wraps, or spooned over roasted potatoes.
