Ingredients
Gorton's seafood
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.
