This recipe offers a delightful twist on baked salmon, featuring a flavorful herb crust and a creamy mustard sauce.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, dill, onion, and Dijon mustard until smooth.
Let the sauce sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Place the salmon fillets on the baking sheet and season with garlic, salt, and pepper.
Pat the salmon dry before seasoning to help the flavors adhere better.
Spread a generous layer of the prepared sauce over each salmon fillet.
Use a spatula to evenly distribute the sauce over the fillets.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Check the salmon a few minutes before the end of the cooking time to avoid overcooking.
Serve the baked salmon with the remaining sauce on the side.
Garnish with additional fresh herbs for a vibrant presentation.
