Ingredients

  • 4 fillets white fish fillets
  • 1 whole lemon
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh dill
  • ½ cup plain yogurt
  • 4 rolls bread rolls
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Pat the 4 fish fillets dry and season both sides with the 1 tsp salt and a few grinds of black pepper.

  2. 2

    Place the fillets in a lightly oiled baking dish. Drizzle with 1 tbsp of the olive oil and bake for 12-15 minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

  3. 3

    While the fish bakes, mix the 0.5 cup yogurt, juice of the 1 lemon, and 2 tbsp of the chopped dill in a small bowl. Season with a pinch of salt.

  4. 4

    Split the 4 bread rolls and top each with 0.25 cup of the shredded cheese. Place on a baking sheet and broil for 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  5. 5

    Remove the fish from the oven and spoon the lemon-dill sauce over the top. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tbsp dill.

  6. 6

    Serve the fish hot with the cheesy bread rolls and a simple green salad on the side, if you like.
