Recipe Details
This weeknight-friendly recipe utilizes Greek yogurt as the base for a fish marinade that imparts flavor while enhancing the tenderness of the salmon beyond typical preparations. The yogurt acts upon the salmon gradually, carrying a lower risk of denaturing (or "cooking") the fish— a concern associated with citrus- or vinegar-based marinades— and serves as a protective barrier that seals in moisture during baking.
This recipe’s marinade primarily relies on pantry and refrigerator staples, complemented by freshly grated ginger and garlic, though the yogurt can serve as a versatile base for incorporating preferred spices and seasonings.
