Roasted Salmon with Herbs and Yogurt

There is something so decadent about a perfectly cooked piece of salmon. It’s tender, flavorful and when paired with fresh herbs and citrus, it’s truly a show-stopping dish. This is the simplest way to eat salmon. Of course, you can just have it with a splash of citrus, but adding these fresh herbs really elevates the fish.

This is also such a fun dish to serve family-style served in the same baking dish that it was cooked it. Just spoon the yogurt and herbs over it and you’re good to go. You can serve this with a side of mashed, sweet potatoes or a simple grilled vegetable will do the trick!

Ok so here’s the last twist, in the strange case you have any leftovers, make a sandwich the next day using the yogurt as a spread and maybe add some hot sauce! That sounds amazing!
