Black Pepper and Sea Salt Salmon

Growing up, seafood was best made with as little as possible. The importance was always to taste the fish itself, rather than the sauce you drowned it in. I still abide by this philosophy in my kitchen, extending it from seafood to meat to produce. This recipe uses simple ingredients to enhance the natural flavors of the fish and packs in a lot of kick from the pepper. (I served it with a cold pasta salad, made with rotini pasta, a little bit of olive oil, crumbled feta cheese, and cannellini beans.)

Salmon with Greek Yogurt and Dill Sauce Recipe

Greek yogurt mixed with lemon, dill, and capers makes a healthy and flavorful sauce for salmon.

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 pounds salmon fillet, skin removed, cut into 6-ounce portions
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Salt and pepper, to taste
6 ounces plain Greek yogurt
3 teaspoons chopped dill, plus more for garnish
1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and chopped

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Lightly oil a roasting pan, or line a cookie sheet with foil. Add the salmon to the prepared pan, and season with the tablespoon of lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper.

Roast the salmon in the oven for about 10 to 15 minutes, depending upon the thickness of the fish.

While the salmon is roasting, make the sauce: Whisk together the yogurt, 2 teaspoons of lemon juice, dill, and capers.

Serve a spoonful of the Greek yogurt sauce over the salmon and garnish with dill.
