Salmon With Basil Tzatziki 

Pan-seared salmon results in tender, flaky fillets, adorned with a delectably crispy caramelized crust on the surface.

This simple yet indulgent salmon recipe can elevate dinner parties, but it's also incredibly easy, perfect for adding a touch of luxury to even the most hectic weeknights!

• cucumber • salmon • basil leaves • chives • tarragon leaves • wine vinegar • olive oil

Ingredients

Grate your cucumber onto two or three layers of paper towels, using the short end of the cucumber (instead of grating at a diagonal along the sides) to keep the bits of cucumber fairly short.

1.

In a small food processor, blend the yogurt, basil, chives, tarragon, vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper until the herbs are very, very finely minced and the sauce becomes a uniformly light green color.

2.

Scrape the tzatziki mixture into a bowl and stir the reserved 1/2 cup of cucumber into the tzatziki. Cover and chill in the refrigerator while you make the salmon.

3.

If possible, purchase salmon that’s a fairly even thickness, so each fillet cooks in the same amount of time as the others.
