Baked Salmon with Dill Sauce and Asparagus

Baked Salmon with Dill Sauce and Asparagus

Fresh salmon doesn't require fuss or complexity; its best flavor shines through with simple preparation.


INGREDIENTS

Salmon: Opt for wild salmon whenever possible. Thicker cuts like king salmon work best here! Atlantic salmon works in a pinch too- but always look for antibiotic-free and sustainably raised salmon without dyes.

  • Asparagus: Asparagus pairs nicely, but other veggies work too! Green beans, broccolini, zucchini, etc.
  • Yogurt: In this Dill sauce, we use yogurt; you could also swap out sour cream or creme fraise, slightly watered down.
  • Dill- Fresh Dill is a “must” and you’ll need loads!
  • Lemon – Fresh lemon and its zest adds a lovely brightness.

 

SALMON WITH DILL SAUCE (INSTRUCTIONS)

Step One: Preheat the oven to 375F and season the asparagus. Toss asparagus with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic and lemon zest.

Step two: Place asparagus on a parchment-lined sheet pan.

Step Three:  Nestle in the salmon and drizzle generously with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, pepper and lemon zest.

Step four: Bake!  Depending on how thick of salmon you are using, this can take anywhere from 8-16 minutes.

 

SALMON DILL SAUCE

While the salmon is baking in the oven, whisk together the Salmon Dill Sauce! 

To make the Salmon Dill sauce, whisk together whole-fat yogurt, garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper, and lemon zest. Add the chopped dill and parsley and stir it in.

The dill sauce is perfect for salmon…so fresh, light and springy!

To serve, garnish the salmon with fresh herbs, and a squeeze of lemon juice if you like. Serve with the asparagus and Salmon Dill Sauce.

 

A quick, healthy meal that lets the vibrant flavors of fresh salmon and spring asparagus shine
