Instructions

Prepare the salmon

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Rub with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Pro tip: This helps the skin crisp up.

Preheat the grill

Heat your grill to medium-high, about 400°F (204°C).

Grill the salmon

Place the salmon skin-side down on the grill. Grill for 5-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

Pro tip: Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.

Make the yogurt salad

In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, dill, parsley, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Chill the salad

Refrigerate the yogurt mixture for at least 30 minutes to blend the flavours.

Assemble the dish

Serve the grilled salmon fillets over a bed of mixed greens topped with the herb Greek yogurt.
