1 cup greek yogurt
170g
2 tsp dill
0.36g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1/2 tsp salt
3g
2 tbsp lemon juice
30g
1/2 tsp black pepper
1.05g
8 salmon fillets
2540g

Instructions:

1. Combine Ingredients:
- 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.
2. Mix Well:
- Stir the ingredients together until they are well combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
3. Chill the Sauce:
- 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.
4. Prepare the Baking Sheet:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the salmon from sticking.
5. Season the Salmon Fillets:
- 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.
6. Roast the Salmon:
- 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.
7. Serve with Sauce:
- Plate each salmon fillet and generously spoon the chilled cucumber dill yogurt sauce over the top or serve it on the side.
8. Garnish and Enjoy:
- 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.
