  • 3 Garlic Cloves (Minced, for slamon glaze)

Instructions

  1. Set the oven: ​to 400°F
  2. Pat down the salmon: with paper towel. You do not want the fish to have too much excess water. Season the salmon with sea salt and black pepper.
  3. Make the glaze: brown the butter. Once browned, add the garlic and honey. 
  4. Place the salmon skin side: down on either tin foil or parchment paper on your baking sheet and cover with the honey glaze.
  5. Put the baking sheet: into the preheated oven and bake for 13 minutes. Meanwhile make the dill yogurt.
  6. Mix the lemon juice: ​greek yogurt, minced garlic, and dill in a bowl. Set side
  7. Made the holiday tapenade: add the slivered almonds, vinegar, honey, pomegranate seeds, dried cranberries, and parsley into a bowl and mix together. Set aside.
  8. Remove the salmon: ​from the oven and place on a large platter. Place the dill yogurt on top of the salmon. Then top the yogurt with the holiday tapenade. Serve immediately.

Notes

You know when salmon (and all fish) is. cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F. Always be sure to check with a proper thermometer.
