Serves 4
INGREDIENTS:
1.5 lbs. Salmon (Best if skin is removed from bottom)
1-2 Tbsp. SPICE + LEAF Authentic Za’atar (Available on Amazon)
2 Tbsp. Olive Oil
1 Lemon (1/2 of lemon in thin slices, other half in quarters)
Salt to taste
3 Tbsp. SPICE + LEAF Tzatziki Dip Mix (Available on Amazon)
1 1/3 cup plain yogurt
Optional: Can use plain Greek Yogurt, Labne or any combination
1/2 cucumber, shredded or diced finely
INSTRUCTIONS:
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-
Place salmon in a baking dish or pan. (If skin is still on bottom, use cooking spray for the base of pan or parchment paper so it does not stick.)
-
Sprinkle za’atar on top of fish. Rub into fish. Drizzle olive oil on top of fish. Place sliced lemons around and on top of fish.
-
Bake for approximately 15 – 20 minutes. Fish should cook to 145 degrees. If testing with a fork to see if done, fish should be flakey. Remove from oven when done.
-
While fish is cooking, prepare tzatziki dip mix. Using a bowl, add yogurt, labne (or Greek yogurt), tzatziki dip and shredded (or diced) cucumber. Mix all ingredients so everything is combined well.
-
Serve either on top of salmon or as a side sauce.
Enjoy and Spice On!
