How to Make Baked Salmon With Green Onion Garnish

  1. Line a plate with several layers of heavy-duty paper towels. Spoon 1 cup plain yogurt onto the paper towels, spreading it to a 1/2-inch thickness. Cover with additional paper towels and let stand for 5 minutes to drain excess whey.
  2. Scrape the drained yogurt into a bowl using a rubber spatula. Add 1/2 cup chopped cucumber, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon dill, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate.
  3. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly coat a jelly-roll pan with cooking spray.
  4. Place 1.5 lbs salmon fillet (about 3-4 (5-ounce) portions) on the prepared pan.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Brush the mixture evenly over the salmon fillet.
  6. Bring 1/2 cup of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions. Cook for 10 seconds, or until softened. Drain well.
  7. Arrange the cooked green onions over the salmon fillet.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  9. Serve immediately with the chilled yogurt sauce.
