Greek Salmon With Tzatziki Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Salmon: Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• Line a baking sheet with tinfoil and coat generously with cooking spray.
• Brush salmon fillets with olive oil and sprinkle with the Greek Seasoning. Place on baking sheet. Bake on the middle rack for 13-15 minutes or until the Salmon is no longer opaque and it flakes easily.
• Tzatziki: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk together. Store in fridge until ready to use. (flavor becomes better when it's stored in the fridge.).

Steps:

• For the tzatziki: Combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, basil, chives, tarragon, vinegar, salt and pepper in a food processor. Blend until the herbs are finely chopped and the sauce is pale green. Scrape the sauce into a bowl.
• Coarsely grate the cucumber using the large holes of a box grater onto a paper-towel-lined-plate; pat dry. Mix the cucumber into the tzatziki. Add salt and pepper to taste. The tzatziki can be made 4 hours ahead, covered and chilled, and stirred before serving.
• For the salmon: Sprinkle the salmon with salt and pepper. Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Cook the salmon, skinned-side-up, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Flip the fish using a fish spatula and cook for 2 minutes for medium doneness.
• Serve warm, at room temperature or chilled with the tzatziki. To serve chilled, cool, cover, and chill up to 1 day.

Steps:

• Avocado Tzatziki Sauce: Mix together all tzatziki ingredients (avocado thru salt & pepper); refrigerate until use.
• The Rest: Marinate the salmon in the oil, lemon juice and zest, yogurt, garlic, oregano, salt and pepper for 20 minutes before placing it on a baking dish
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place marinated salmon in oven and bake until the salmon just starts to flake easily, about 10 minutes.
• Serve topping with the avocado tzatziki.
