Roasted Salmon with Dijon-Dill Sauce

This recipe is ridiculous. I almost hurt myself eating this one. It was absolutely fantastic! 2 of my favorite ingredients to cook with, dill and Dijon, are in this dish and they pair so nicely with this salmon. This sauce has a Greek yogurt base as opposed to a half-and-half or heavy whipping cream sauce, which makes it way healthier for you. This took me 5 minutes to prep…that’s it. This was super fast to make and tastes like it took an hour to make!

This recipe is gluten free and full of healthy fat and protein. Pairs nicely with a cilantro lime Jasmine rice!

Ingredients:


  • 3 Tablespoons plain 2% reduced-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 4 (6-ounce) fresh salmon filets


Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Combine first 7 ingredients. Place fish, skinned side down, on a foil-lined baking sheet coated with olive oil OR use a Demarle non-stick cookie sheet.
Spread the yogurt sauce over the fish.
Bake at 425 degrees for 15-18 minutes or until desired degree of doneness.

Cooking with Essential Oils

I’m so glad you are enjoying my recipes! It’s so nice to see the likes and the comments! I wanted to post and let you all know that I often use essential oils in my recipes. I only use Young Loving essential oils in my recipes because they are the only ones I feel are safe to ingest (depending if the label on the bottle says it is a dietary supplement).

If you ever need to order any essential oil for cooking, let me know. You can't go buy pure 100% essential oils at the store. You have to order them through a distributor. I cook a lot with:
• Lemongrass Essential Oil
• Oregano Essential Oil
• Basil Essential Oils
• Taste of Italy Essential Oil
• Rosemary Essential Oil
• Lemon Essential Oil
• Orange Essential Oil
…and so many more!!
If you would like to hear more about the pure essential oils and how they can be used for cooking, just email me at amandasgreatrecipes@gmail.com OR you can go to my website and order as a retail customer. My website is below:

Thanks so much and happy cooking!
