Roasted Salmon or Grilled Salmon with Cucumber Sauce

1 (4 lb.) salmon
2 lemons, sliced
1 onion, sliced
4 sprigs fresh dill weed
1 bunch fresh thyme
1 recipe cucumber sauce(see below)

Place lemon, onion slices, dill and thyme on top of salmon fillet. Line a roasting pan with foil or parchment paper; grease well with cooking spray. Place salmon in roasting pan, cover loosely with foil. Bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour or until cooked through. serve with cucumber sauce.

I have also bought a wood plank and grilled the salmon on that. We like it grilled more than roasted, but the sauce is what makes it amazing!

Sauce:

1 cup sour cream
1 cup mayo
2 medium cucumbers, peeled, seeded, and cut into very thin slices
1 Tbsp. grated onion
1 Tbsp. chopped fresh dill
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper

Stir together sour cream and mayo. Stir in cucumbers, onion, dill weed, salt and pepper. Refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving.
