Ingredients
Scale
- 4 skin-on salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (whole milk)
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
- 8 ounces green beans, trimmed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, chopped dill, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Chill the sauce until ready to use.
- Toss the halved baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on the baking sheet and roast for 10 minutes.
- Push the potatoes to one side of the sheet. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the other side. Brush with remaining olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Return the sheet to the oven and roast for 15–18 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- While the salmon cooks, steam or sauté the green beans until tender-crisp.
- Serve the salmon with potatoes and green beans. Spoon the chilled dill sauce over the salmon and garnish with extra dill or lemon if desired.
Notes
- Let the salmon sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before baking for more even cooking.
- You can make the dill sauce a day in advance and store it in the fridge.
- Use fresh dill for the best flavor—dried won’t have the same brightness.
