Instructions
Preheat oven to 275 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place salmon skin-side down on parchment paper. Brush salmon with olive oil, salt, and pepper on the tops. Sprinkle 2 cloves of chopped garlic over fillets. Roast for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the yogurt sauce by combining all ingredients in a bowl and stir. Set aside while you wait for salmon to come out. (I think it's best slightly above room temperature)
