There really isn't much to the recipe itself - the salmon was simply seasoned with pepper and a tiny pinch of salt, and seared on the the stovetop. The main flavor of the dish comes from the homemade tzatziki - a cucumber-meets-herbs-meets-Greek-yogurt sauce.
That's all folks. That's the dish. But something about the refreshing cucumber paired with the fresh herbs and the creamy yogurt really makes a simple but oh-so-flavorful topping. I served this with some whole wheat pitas, but a salad dressed with a lemon vinaigrette would have been the perfect touch.
