Instructions:
1. Prepare the Salmon:

2. Prepare the Creamy Dill Sauce:
- In a small bowl, combine the sour cream or Greek yogurt, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper.
- Mix well and set aside. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
3. Roast the Broccoli:
- While the salmon bakes, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Spread on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, until tender and slightly crispy at the edges.
- Serve the broccoli with lemon wedges on the side.
4. Assemble and Serve:
- Plate the baked salmon with a dollop of the dill sauce on top.
- Add the roasted broccoli on the side.
- Garnish with extra dill or lemon wedges if desired.
Tips:
