Ingredients
For the Salmon:
- 4, 6 oz pieces of salmon
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- Juice of 1 small lemon
- 1 tsp fresh dill, chopped
For the feta sauce
- 3/4 cup crumbled feta, from feta in brine
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1 tbsp fresh dill
- 1-2 tbsp water to thin
For the roasted veggies
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 2 small zucchini, sliced into half moons
- 1 red onion, cut into chunks
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Sprinkle of dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425℉. Add all the cut veggies to a large baking sheet and toss with olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes until fully cooked and starting to crisp.
- While the veggies roast, pat the salmon dry and place it on a cutting board.
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and chopped dill. Brush this mixture over the top of each piece of salmon.
- Bake or air-fry at 400℉ for 10-12 minutes or until fully cooked.
- Meanwhile, make the feta sauce. To a blender or a food processor, combine the feta, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, and dill. Blend until smooth, adding a tablespoon of water as needed for creaminess.
- To each plate, add a generous helping of veggies and a piece of salmon, then top the salmon with some creamy feta sauce. We also enjoyed dipping the vegetables in the sauce. Enjoy!
