Ingredients
  

  • For the Salmon:
  • 4 skinless salmon fillets
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Lemon wedges for garnish
  • For the Dill Yogurt Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Prepare crust: In a bowl, combine panko, parsley, dill, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Brush salmon: Lightly brush each fillet with Dijon mustard. Press herb mixture onto the tops of the fillets.
  • Bake: Place salmon on the baking sheet and bake for 15–18 minutes or until salmon is cooked through and topping is golden.
  • Make sauce: While salmon bakes, stir together all yogurt sauce ingredients. Chill until ready to serve.
  • Serve: Plate salmon with a spoonful of dill yogurt sauce and a lemon wedge.

Notes

Don’t overbake—salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and is still slightly pink inside.
Substitute cod or halibut for a different fish experience.
Side Dishes: Roasted baby potatoes, lemon rice pilaf, or grilled spring vegetables like zucchini or fennel.
