5-Ingredient Salmon & Yogurt Sauce

I write a 5-ingredient recipe column for my fave gal Leah over on Freutcake! I was totally jazzed when she asked me to focus on a fast, healthy dinner recipe for spring because this Salmon & Yogurt Sauce recipe is a go-to in our house. Get ready for some (easy) clean eatin'!

Like I said to Leah's fab followers, I don't have outdoor space (#Brooklynproblems) otherwise I'd grill these babies. Nothing beats that toasty, roasty grill char. Bonus points for being super lean, too! 

You only need 5 ingredients to pull off this easy weeknight dinner, so no excuses. Eat like a champion. And make leftovers for lunch. You got this, girl!
