Ingredients
- 1 pound salmon fillet
- ¼ teaspoon salt, divided in half
- ⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons shelled pistachios (or more to taste)
- 2 tablespoons golden raisins (or more to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with tin foil or parchment paper (for easier clean up).
- Place the salmon on the baking sheet. Season with half of the salt.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, parsley, dill, lemon juice, lemon zest, and remaining salt. Spread over the salmon fillet.
- Bake the salmon for approximately 19 to 23 minutes for a thick fillet, or approximately 10 to 15 minutes for a thin fillet or individual cut portions. The fish is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork.
- Let the salmon rest for a few minutes, then top with the pistachios and golden raisins. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- The USDA recommends cooking fish to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F for food safety reasons. Some people prefer the texture of salmon when it reaches a peak temperature lower than 145 degrees F. You can decide whether you prefer it cooked differently based on personal tastes and risk tolerance.
- If you want to make four servings (rather than three), just grab a slightly bigger fillet, around 1 ¼ pounds. The same proportions of sauce should work fine on that, it’ll just be a little thinner spread across.
- Feel free to use whatever herbs you have on hand – this recipe is quite flexible. Chives, cilantro, thyme, and other herbs can work well based on your flavor preferences.
