Full of fresh, bright flavors that complement the natural richness of the fish. The herbs add a fragrant touch without overpowering the salmon. It’s a healthy and elegant option that is quick to prepare.
Directions
Warm your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray a glass baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to keep the salmon from sticking. In a small bowl, mix together the yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, tarragon, dill, mozzarella, and Parmesan until well combined. Place the salmon fillets in the baking dish and spread the cheese and herb mixture evenly over the top. Pop the dish into the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the fish easily flakes with a fork. Enjoy!
