Lemon Herb Baked Salmon with Garlic Yogurt Sauce

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish and place the salmon fillets in it.

Drizzle olive oil over the fillets, then season with salt and black pepper.

Arrange the thin slices of lemon on top of the salmon fillets.

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon easily flakes with a fork.

Make the Garlic Yogurt Sauce:

While the salmon is baking, heat olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, just until fragrant. Remove from heat.

In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, fresh parsley, and the sautéed garlic. Stir well until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve:

Once the salmon is cooked, spoon the garlic yogurt sauce over the fillets.

Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon slices before serving.
