In a tall glass, pour the yogurt 7, dill, and oil 8, blend with an immersion blender 9 to obtain a smooth cream.

Season the sauce with salt and pepper and set aside 10. Now heat the flatbread on both sides in a pan for a couple of minutes 11. Everything is ready to fill the flatbread: first, distribute the arugula 12.

Place the salmon slices and sauce on top 13, add more arugula and caramelized lemon zest 14. The flatbread with salmon and yogurt sauce is ready to be served 15.
