Instructions
Bake the Salmon

- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Assemble and Serve

Notes
Yogurt sauce: For the best flavor, prepare the yogurt dill sauce 15–30 minutes before serving and refrigerate until ready to use.
Salmon doneness: Cook until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is just opaque in the center. Avoid overcooking.
Broiling: If you want more browning, broil the salmon briefly at the end of cooking and watch it closely.
Make ahead: The yogurt dill sauce can be prepared in advance and refrigerated. Assemble the salmon and fresh vegetables shortly before serving.
