Healthy Baked Salmon Dijon Recipe

Healthy Baked Salmon Dijon Recipe

Everyone could use a little bit more fish in their lives. Salmon is one of the easiest fish to add to their weekly menus due to its high levels of availability in most grocery stores. This recipe is simple and packed with great nutrients that will make you feel good about feeding this dish to your family! A pro tip for salmon is to pat dry the fillet before seasoning and saucing. Less water on the outside means a juicier more flavorful fish.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons dried dill
  • 3 Tablespoons scallions, finely chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1½ lb. salmon fillet with skin, cut in the center
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Cooking Spray

Directions

1. Whisk Greek yogurt, dill, onion, mustard, and lemon juice in a small bowl to blend.

2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil the baking sheet with cooking spray.

3. Place salmon, skin side down, on the prepared sheet. Sprinkle with garlic powder and pepper, then spread with the sauce.

4. Bake salmon until just opaque in the center, about 20 minutes. Serve with Fresh Lemon Vegetables.
