A creamy, tangy, herb-infused yogurt sauce pairs beautifully with salmon and citrus in this easy-yet-impressive meal. The yogurt sauce, a light take on creamy Green Goddess dressing, mellows when baked and the herbs infuse the fish with flavor. If you don’t want to pull out your food processor to make the yogurt sauce, you’ll need to finely chop the herbs, then just whisk the sauce ingredients together in a bowl. Feel free to substitute any variety of fresh herbs that you like. Rosemary, thyme, and oregano are all good choices.

Ingredients

Plain fat free yogurt

¾ cup(s), (regular, not Greek)

Chives

½ cup(s), chopped (plus more for garnish)

½ tsp

Uncooked farmed Atlantic salmon

Black pepper

⅛ tsp, freshly ground (or to taste)

Lemon

1 item(s), large, cut into 8 wedges

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. In a food processor, puree yogurt, herbs, lemon juice and salt (herbs can be finely processed or left a little chunky).
  3. Place salmon, skin-side down, on a foil-lined baking sheet (or use a baking sheet coated with cooking spray). Spread a thick layer of yogurt sauce over salmon; bake until salmon is cooked through, 18 to 20 minutes.
