1. 01
   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

   Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
3. 03
   In a small bowl, mix together the lemon zest, orange zest, dill, parsley, and panko breadcrumbs.
4. 04
   Brush the tops of the salmon fillets with olive oil, then press the citrus herb mixture onto the tops to form a crust.
5. 05
   Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.
6. 06
   While the salmon is baking, prepare the yogurt sauce by combining the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
7. 07
   Once the salmon is cooked, remove from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
