Temperatures are definitely up there and cooking a hot meal is pretty much the last thing I want to be doing at the end of a long day. I have a stack of cookbooks promising 30-minute meals and countless pins on Pinterest. The other meal planning challenge here is the fact that no one is going to be happy with a heavy beef stew even if all I had to do was throw all the ingredients in the slow cooker.

What is one to do one a hot day? Salmon! This is one of my favorite easy meals when the temps are high. It’s a light protein that’s easy to make, can be served hot or cold, and is loaded with vitamins and omega-3s. This particular recipe out of the ​​FIT4MOM’s Body Well Nutrition Guide & Recipe Book has quickly become a family favorite for adults and kids alike.

Sheet Pan Salmon with Yogurt Sauce

Makes 4 Servings

INGREDIENTS

Salmon

4 3oz pieces of wild-caught salmon
Juice of 1 lemon
2 TBSP oil of choice
2 tsp fresh or dried dill

Salt & pepper to taste

Yogurt

1 cup yogurt of choice
½ cucumber, finely diced

2 tsp fresh or dried dill

DIRECTIONS

  • Preheat oven to 400F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper
  • Pat salmon dry with a paper towel and place on parchment
  • Season salmon with salt, pepper, dill, and lemon
  • Drizzle with oil
  • Bake 15-20 minutes
  • While it bakes, combine ingredients for yogurt sauce
  • Top salmon with yogurt sauce and enjoy

One of the beautiful things about salmon is how easy it can be to pair. Summer vegetables, all produce really, are my favorite. Consider a side of zucchini and squash, sweet corn, pan-roasted cherry tomatoes, a fresh green salad, or roasted potatoes. A delicious meal for the whole family in 30 minutes or less!
