Instructions

Step 1

Start by heating your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a glass baking dish with some nonstick spray to keep the fish from sticking. In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, tarragon, dill, mozzarella, and Parmesan until well combined. Lay the salmon fillets in the dish and spread the cheese and herb mixture evenly over the top. Pop it in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Once it’s done, let it rest for a minute before serving.

Store any leftover salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to avoid drying it out. For longer storage, freeze the cooked fillets wrapped tightly in foil or plastic wrap.
