Ingredients

  • 6 pieces fresh salmon (about 2″ wide/4 ounces each)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
  • olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
For the Sauce
  • ⅓ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
  • 1 tablespoon capers chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • juice and zest of ½ lemon
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

To Make the Sauce
    Cup of Yum
  1. Whisk all the sauce ingredients in a bowl and allow to sit at room temperature while you make the salmon.
To Make the Salmon
  1. Preheat oven to 400F.
  2. Place the salmon on a wire rack, placed on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil (for easier cleanup).  Brush each piece with olive oil.  Sprinkle salt, pepper and dill over the tops.
  3. Bake for 10 minutes. Increase the temperature to 450F and bake for another 5-8 minutes.
  4. Serve with a healthy dollop of the sauce over the top of the salmon, and garnish with some dill and capers. Store any leftover sauce in the fridge in an airtight jar for 5-7 days.

Notes

  • If you don't have fresh dill, you can use about half the amount of dried dill weed instead.
