This was SO good and so fast and easy. Grill up some kale on the side and you have a beautiful meal!Baked Salmon with Cherry Tomatoes
INGREDIENTS
1 filet of salmon, with skin (amount depends on the number of people you are serving. I usually do 3/4 for two which is plenty).
1 cup cherry tomatoes (more if you have more company and a bigger piece of fish)
Half a bunch of fresh dillHalf a bunch of fresh thyme
2 Tbsp olive oil
salt and fresh pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Line a baking pan with foil or parchment paper and sprinkle with some olive oil.
Make a bed using the fresh herbs, a mix of the dill and thyme.
Lay the salmon over the top of the herbs. Pour on the fresh tomatoes.
Sprinkle the whole dish with olive oil. I actually poured a little into my hand and rubbed the top of the salmon and each of the tomatoes with it so they wouldn't dry out while baking.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Bake at 325 for 25-30 minutes or until the top of the salmon begins to look more vibrantly pink.
Serve with the yogurt dill sauce and enjoy!
Yogurt Dill Sauce
INGREDIENTS
1 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cup plain yogurt
2 Tbs chopped dill
1 Tbs lemon juice
lemon zest
PREPARATION
Combine all the ingredients and mix. You may need to add more lemon juice to get the consistency you want. You don't want it too watery but greek yogurt is pretty thick. Add salt and pepper to taste. I thought it actually needed a little bit of salt and I never say no to fresh ground pepper. Serve alongside the salmon and enjoy it liberally piled on top!
