Recipe: Grilled Salmon with Lemon-Dill Sauce
Ingredients:
4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each), skin-on
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1 lemon, thinly sliced
Lemon-Dill Sauce:
½ cup Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and brush both sides with olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, and chopped fresh dill.
Place the lemon slices on top of each salmon fillet.
Grill the salmon, skin-side down, for 4-5 minutes, then carefully flip using a spatula. Grill for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork.
While the salmon is grilling, prepare the lemon-dill sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, chopped dill, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the grill and transfer to serving plates. Serve with a dollop of lemon-dill sauce on top.
Garnish with additional fresh dill and lemon slices, if desired. Enjoy your flavorful and nutritious grilled salmon!
Why This Recipe Supports Psoriasis Wellness:
Salmon: Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, salmon boasts anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce inflammation associated with psoriasis. Omega-3s also support overall skin health and hydration, promoting a smoother, more radiant complexion.
Greek Yogurt: Packed with probiotics, Greek yogurt supports gut health, which is closely linked to skin health. Maintaining a healthy gut microbiome can help reduce inflammation and improve symptoms of autoimmune conditions like psoriasis.
Fresh Lemon and Dill: Both lemon and dill are rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, which play a crucial role in supporting immune function and reducing oxidative stress. Additionally, the bright, citrusy flavor of lemon and the fresh, herbaceous notes of dill elevate the taste of the dish without the need for excessive salt or seasoning.
By incorporating nutrient-rich ingredients like salmon, Greek yogurt, lemon, and dill into your diet, you can nourish your body and support your skin's wellness journey. Cooking isn't just about feeding yourself—it's about nurturing your body, mind, and soul with wholesome, flavorful meals that promote health and vitality.
