Cucumber Dill Salmon

Zoo 221 copy

This is actually a recipe I devised on my own, although the sauce is very similar to a greek tzatziki sauce.  Since it's greek inspired I had to add some Feta cheese.  It's a very refreshing flavor, perfect for Spring/Summer when the recipes I crave are lighter.  The couscous pairs with it perfectly.

Ingredients:
·         2 salmon filets
·         1 cup plain yogurt
·         2 Tbs dill
·         1 medium sized cucumber, diced
·         1 garlic clove, minced
·         Salt, to taste
·         Pepper, to taste
·         Dill, to taste
·         4 Tbs Feta cheese

Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.  Place salmon in foil-lined pans.  Sprinkle with salt, pepper and dill.  Bake for about 10-15 minutes or until salmon flakes easily with a fork. 
  • While the salmon is cooking, mix the yogurt, 2 Tbs dill, cucumber and garlic.  Refrigerate until salmon is done cooking and ready to serve.
  • To serve top salmon with cucumber yogurt mixture and 2 Tbs each of Feta cheese.  Serve with couscous.
