Gorton’s Classic Grilled Salmon Fillets

1 package Gorton’s Classic Grilled Salmon Fillets

 

For the marinade:

Fresh lemon juice and lemon slices

Fresh or dried dill

Minced garlic

Olive oil

 

For the lemon tzatziki:

1 Cup plain Greek yogurt – your choice of full-fat or low-fat

1 peeled cucumber – chopped up. If it has large seeds, remove the seeds

1 garlic clove – minced

1/4 red onion finely chopped. If you like more onion you can add to taste

Dill If using dried dill – add one teaspoon. Fresh dill – use 2 tablespoons of chopped herb

Salt and pepper – add to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Defrost the Gorton’s Grilled Salmon fillet. Rinse, dry and set aside.

Step 2

In a glass air-tight container, marinade the salmon with lemon juice, dill, olive oil and garlic. Let it sit in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight.

Step 3

To cook the salmon fillet you can either pan-fry or bake in the oven – either way it tastes great! If cooking in an oven – preheat to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 15 – 17 minutes. Make sure salmon is cooked to 165° or higher.

Step 4

Begin with the yogurt in a large bowl and add in all the ingredients. Stir until throughly mixed. You can adjust the seasoning to your taste.

Step 5

Top your cooked salmon fillet with the Tzatziki. Serve with sliced cumbers, rice, couscous, tabouli, eggplant or even a Greek salad.

It’s best to make this recipe ahead of time and refrigerate in an airtight container. The flavors will be more bold after some time marinating.
