Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the grated cucumber, sour cream, and Greek yogurt.
- Add the minced garlic, dill, salt, lemon juice, and black pepper to the bowl.
- Stir the ingredients together until they are well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the salmon from sticking.
- Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if they have skin.
- Lightly season each fillet with salt and black pepper.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Roast the salmon for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time might vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
- Plate each salmon fillet and generously spoon the chilled cucumber dill yogurt sauce over the top or serve it on the side.
- Optionally, garnish with additional fresh dill or a lemon wedge.
- Serve immediately while the salmon is still warm.
Tips:
- For best results, select fresh, high-quality salmon fillets. If possible, choose wild-caught salmon for a richer flavor.
- Make sure to thoroughly pat dry the salmon fillets before roasting to ensure a crispy exterior.
- Allow the cucumber dill yogurt sauce to sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This enhances the flavors as they meld together.
- Feel free to add fresh herbs like parsley or chives to the cucumber dill yogurt sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
- Serve the salmon with a side of roasted vegetables or a light salad to create a well-rounded meal.
