How to make roasted salmon with lemon dill sauce

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil reduces saturated fat while providing a similar flavor.

fresh dill

🥗Healthier: fresh parsley

💰Cheaper: dried dill

Fresh parsley adds a similar herbaceous note with lower cost.

salmon fillets

🥗Healthier: trout fillets

💰Cheaper: canned salmon

Trout provides a similar taste profile and is often less expensive.

capers

🥗Healthier: green olives

💰Cheaper: pickles

Green olives can mimic the briny flavor of capers at a lower price.

Rub the salmon down with a little bit of olive oil.

Season the salmon with feisty fish rub seasoning.

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Place the salmon in the oven to roast for about 25 to 30 minutes.

While the salmon is roasting, prepare garnishes.

Using a peeler, slice long strips of cucumber and roll them up.

Cut lemons in half and clean out the inside to create lemon cups.

Trim up fresh dill and slice radishes very thin on a bias.

Once the salmon is done, fan it out on a plate.

Add lemon dill sauce into the lemon cups.

Garnish with sprigs of dill, sliced radishes, cucumber wheels, micro greens, and capers.
