How to Make Salmon With Cucumber Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
  2. Place salmon fillets (about 6 oz each) on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon ground cumin, ½ teaspoon paprika, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the salmon fillets.
  5. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. While the salmon is baking, prepare the cucumber sauce: Combine 1 cup diced cucumber, ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Mix well.
  7. Once the salmon is cooked, gently flake it with a fork. Serve the salmon over a bed of mixed greens or quinoa, topped with the refreshing cucumber sauce.
