Ic Salmon With Dill Yogurt Sauce Food

ROASTED SALMON WITH YOGURT DILL SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the yogurt sauce in advance and store in the refrigerator or prepare it while the fish is in the oven.
• Mix the yogurt, lemon juice, dill and chives. For the garlic, I like to smash it lightly and add it to the sauce and then remove it before serving. This will give a mild garlic flavor to the sauce, but won't be too overpowering. You can also mince the garlic, or grate it on a microplane, if you want to have a stronger garlic flavor. Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste. Minced capers are a great addition to this sauce too.
• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Place a rimmed baking sheet into the oven to heat up.
• Meanwhile, season each salmon fillet with salt and pepper and rub each fillet with oil all over.
• When the oven has preheated to 500 degrees and the baking sheet has been in the oven for about 10 minutes, take out the baking sheet and place the salmon, skin side down, onto the searingly hot baking sheet. You will hear it sizzle and the skin will start to sear right away.
• Place the fish in the preheated oven. Reduce the heat to 250 degrees and roast the fish for 12 - 15 minutes.
• Serve the salmon with the yogurt sauce.

SALMON WITH YOGURT DILL SAUCE

• In a small bowl, mix olives, tomatoes, oregano and garlic.
• Remove 3/4 cup of drained yogurt, transfer to a small bow and mix in 1 T. of chopped dill.
• Spread dilled yogurt in a thin layer over salmon fillets; top with olive/tomato mixture, evenly covering all of salmon.

SALMON BURGERS WITH A YOGURT DILL SAUCE

Steps:

• Lightly cook salmon, after thawing if frozen. An easy way is to poach in very hot but not boiling water for about 4-5 minutes. Do not cover salmon with water, only allowing water to be about half way up the fillets. Set aside.
• Put egg in bowl, lightly beat. Mix in 1 tbsp horseradish, lemon zest, lemon juice, scallions, breadcrumbs, tsp of salt and 1/8 tsp pepper. Mix evenly.
• In another bowl, break up salmon into small pieces/flakes.
• Pour egg mixture from step two on to of salmon, and mix until salmon is thoroughly covered with mixture.
• Cover glass or similar dish with foil (saves on cleanup!). Make four similarly-sized balls of this salmon mixture using your hands and space evenly on the dish.
• Press each ball into a patty of about 3.5in in diameter and 1 inch thickness.
• Cover the dish and the salmon patties and place in fridge for at least 30 minutes. This helps the patties maintain their shape.
• While patties are in fridge, mix yogurt, dill, salt, pepper and 1 tbsp horseradish (to taste) in a small bowl to make sauce. Cover and refrigerate. The longer this sauce is in the fridge, the stronger the dill flavor.
• Remove patties from refrigerator.
• Heat a pan or skillet to medium to high heat. Pour a small amount of olive oil in the skillet, and when hot place patty or patties (can do one one or more at a time depending on your comfort level) in pan.
• Let sizzle until brown on one side, and then flip. If you made the patties well and refrigerated them, flipping should be easy.
• When brown on both sides, place on bun of your choice, toasted or prepared however you like (I like to brush bun with olive oil, parmesan cheese and hot pepper before toasting in convection oven).
• Cover with yogurt dill sauce, and add lettuce, tomatoes, etc. Serve immediately.
