Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 1 pound salmon or steelhead trout
- 1 shallot thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons crushed Calabrian Chile peppers 1 tablespoon or 1 teaspoon if you don't want it too spicy
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup greek yogurt
- 2 radish cubed
- 1 Persian cucumber cubed
- juice of 1 lemon
- 1 small bundle of dill
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep your fish. Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F. Pat salmon dry. In a baking dish or ovenproof skillet, place salmon down, skin side down, with the flesh being visible.
- Gently toss over and sprinkle your sliced shallots. Season with salt, pepper, crushed Calabrian Chile pepper as well as your extra-virgin olive oil. Mix well with a spoon or your fingers to get everything incorporated. Drizzle chile oil all around to make sure it's all throughout the salmon and shallots.
- Place in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until fully cooked throughout. Time will depend on the size and thickness of your fish, but internal temperature with a thermometer should reach 130-135 degrees F (and around 120-125 degrees F in the thickest part of the filet) However, if you're looking for a very firm and cooked fish, it should read around 145 degrees F.
- Make your yogurt sauce. While your fish is roasting, make your sauce mixture. In a medium sized bowl, add in your yogurt, radish, cucumber with the juice of 1/2 a lemon (save the other 1/2 lemon for serving), a few sprigs of dill, a drizzle of olive oil and salt and pepper. Mix well until combined and set aside.
- Assemble! When your fish and sauce are done, remove from the oven and either flake apart with a fork for serving on a serving platter, or slice into filets with a knife to serve that way. Finish with a dollop of your yogurt sauce, a fresh squeeze of fresh lemon juice, pinch of flakey salt and the rest of your dill. Drizzle the remaining oil from the pan over the dish as well.
- Can be served with any grain as well like couscous, rice or even quinoa and farro. Another option is to dip bread in here as well.
