2. 2. Drizzle some olive oil into the bottom of a 30cm x 20 cm (12in x 8in) baking dish. Add the fennel, leek and half od the dill. Drizzle with a little more than half the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Cook in the oven for 10 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften.
3. 3. Remove the dish from the oven and arrange the salmon pieces on top of the vegetables.
4. 4. Drizzle with some oil, pour over a little more lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Top each salmon fillet with a dollop of yoghurt, spreading it over the surface in an even layer.
5. 5. Scatter with mint, some dill and the lemon zest. Return the dish to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the salmon is almost completely cooked through (or until cooked to your liking).
6. 6. Serve the fish scattered with more mint, the remaining dill, pine nuts and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil.
