Serves: 4  |
   Cook Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups fresh spinach

For the Yoghurt Dill Sauce:

  • 1 cup Greek yoghurt
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 190°C.
  • Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush each fillet with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  • Bake the salmon for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  • In a small bowl, combine the Greek yoghurt, chopped dill, minced garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and cook until just wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with a little salt and pepper.
  • Place a portion of wilted spinach on each plate, top with a baked salmon fillet, and drizzle generously with the yoghurt dill sauce.
