A creamy, tangy, herb-infused yogurt sauce pairs beautifully with salmon and citrus in this easy-yet-impressive meal. The yogurt sauce, a light take on creamy Green Goddess dressing, mellows when baked and the herbs infuse the fish with flavor. If you don’t want to pull out your food processor to make the yogurt sauce, you’ll need to finely chop the herbs, then just whisk the sauce ingredients together in a bowl. Feel free to substitute any variety of fresh herbs that you like. Rosemary, thyme, and oregano are all good choices.
