Description
 Lemon and salmon go great together, one of my favorite combinations. I've also made a side of tzatziki sauce here, as well as some roasted brussel sprouts. This is a great light and healthy summery meal with plenty of Greek flavors

  1. Starting with the Tzatziki. Finely dice your cucumber, and add to a strainer with salt. Let sit for about an hour to draw out excess water

    2.
  2. To a medium bowl, combine the cucumber, yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, lemon pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use

    3.

  3. Moving on to the brussel sprouts. Preheat your oven to 400F, and prepare a large cookie sheet with parchment or a silicone liner

    4.
  4. Roast at 400F for about 30 minutes, or until lightly charred on the outside and tender in the center. Squeeze on some lemon or lime juice when done roasting

    5.
  5. Finally, the salmon. In a small bowl, mix together lemon juice, lemon pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Rub onto each piece of salmon

    6.
  6. Cut your sprouts in half, and add to the tray. Season with oil, garlic, onion, salt, and pepper, and toss together with your hands

    7.
  7. Roast the salmon for 10-14 minutes at 400F, or until done to your liking. I like my salmon fully cooked, so I prefer the higher end of that range and an internal temperature of about 145F, but you might like less
