Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C), or heat a skillet over medium heat for pan-searing.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Pat the salmon fillets dry and rub the garlic rosemary mixture evenly over each piece.
To bake: Place the salmon on a lined baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
To pan-sear: Heat olive oil in a skillet, place salmon skin-side down, and cook for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
Meanwhile, make the dill sauce: In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt or sour cream, dill, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Serve the salmon topped with creamy dill sauce. Garnish with additional dill or lemon wedges if desired.

Notes

Use fresh rosemary for the best flavor; substitute dried rosemary if needed.Make the dill sauce ahead of time for deeper flavor.Serve the sauce cold or at room temperature for contrast with the warm salmon.Customize the sauce with add-ins like capers or cucumber for extra texture.This recipe works well with trout, halibut, or cod if salmon is unavailable.
