Smoky Lemon Roasted Salmon with Lemon Tahini Yogurt Sauce ~ Sumptuous Spoonfuls #easy #dinner #recipe

Smoky Lemon Roasted Salmon with Lemon Tahini Yogurt Sauce

  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Cook Time: 10 minutes
  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 2 - 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 4-oz. slab of salmon, per person
  • Smoked salt, smoked paprika, dill, Old Bay Seasoning, dill, granulated garlic, onion powder, Italian seasoning, fresh ground pepper
  • Juice of 1/2 a lemon, per person

For the Lemon Tahini Yogurt Sauce:

  • Zest & juice of 1/2 a lemon
  • 12 garlic cloves, peeled & chopped fine
  • 1/3 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 Tablespoon tahini
  • 1 Tablespoon light mayo
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar
  • A pinch of dill
  • 23 Tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Sprinkle both sides of salmon with the seasonings listed, then squeeze the lemon juice over the salmon.
  2. Bake salmon at 350 F. for about 7 – 10 minutes or until the fish just flakes with a fork. Watch it carefully at the end so you catch it at just the right moment when it flakes but is still moist and tender.
  3. While the salmon is cooking, whisk together the sauce ingredients.
  4. Serve the salmon with hot basmati rice and/or on a bed of fresh baby spinach with fresh sweet tomatoes, vidalia onions and crumbled feta. Drizzle the sauce over and enjoy!

Notes

Cooking time will vary depending on your oven and the thickness of the salmon. Watch it carefully! You’ll know when it is done if you poke it with a fork in the middle and it flakes, rather than holding together.

You’ll have enough sauce for 2 – 4 servings.
