Easy Baked Salmon
with Yogurt-Dill Sauce

Easy Baked Salmon

1 pound Chinook salmon fillet, cut into 4 equal pieces
1 teaspoon dried basil or dill (or both)
Dash salt
Dash pepper
1-2 tablespoons olive oil
Lemon wedges

Preheat the oven to 350˚. Place the 4 pieces of salmon on a baking sheet. Sprinkle the basil/dill, salt & pepper evenly over the fish. Drizzle with the olive oil, and pat down to distribute evenly with the spices.

Baking time depends on thickness: bake 10 minutes for each inch of thickness of fish. On a typical piece of fish, it will take approximately 20-25 minutes. Check for doneness by cutting into the thickest part of the fish. If it is translucent, place back in the oven and check in 5 minutes; if it is flaky it is done!

Serve with lemon wedges or Yogurt-Dill Sauce; enjoy!

Yogurt-Dill Sauce

1 cup plain, unsweetened yogurt
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
2-4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 1 medium lemon)
1-2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon dried dill or 2 tablespoons fresh dill

Mix all together and serve with fish; also good with falafels or mixed in with vegetables and/or rice.
