1 teaspoon cumin seeds

1 teaspoon coriander seeds

2 cardamom pods

3 cloves

1 cinnamon stick

1 cup Greek yogurt

1/2 small red onion, finely chopped

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 (2-pound) fillet salmon, cut horizontally into 1-inch thick slices

Olive oil, for drizzling

Salt and freshly ground pepper

12-inch wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

1/2 orange

Heat grill to high. Place spices in a small saute pan and toast on the grill for 45 to 60 seconds, shaking the pan several times, or until just fragrant. Let cool slightly and grind in a spice grinder or coffee grinder until finely ground.

Process yogurt, onion, lemon juice, zest, cayenne, and toasted spices in a food processor until smooth. Set aside or refrigerate if not using for a while.

Thread salmon onto skewers so the fish lies flat. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until slightly charred and just cooked through. Serve with yogurt sauce on the side and drizzle the juice of 1/2 orange over all.

Love to cook
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I am Indian and the spices and dished are similar to Mid East cooking, I would increase the yogurt to 2 cups or half the... spices. The yogurt recipe is very similar to what we make which is called raita and I only add a little salt, coriander and cumin and it's fine. If you want to try the actual recipe, it's actually good but increase the yogurt and halve the spices. Read more

Salmon is great - sauce is horrible
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I have just thrown out my batch of the yogurt sauce - the measurements must have been off because the flavors were just way... too strong. So disappointed and what a waste of money. The grilling of the salmon is great as always....Read more

Salmon at it's Best!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This salmon is made so simply but his ultimate flavor! The orange juice and grilling really make the flavor! For the sauce... I did not blend it but instead mixed in the finely chopped red onion and my family loved the extra crunch. Everyone wanted to know how the sauce was made because they loved it, wonderful!Read more

Needs to be tweaked!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I watched Booby do this menu on FN. I printed off the recipes and the measurements seemed inaccurate. I had to alter it quite... a bit ratio wise. Too much mint for one. Not enough bulgar so I added couscous which was good. Needed more salt and pepper.Other then that, presentation was excellent! You just need to tweak it.Read more

Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Really goes well with Bulgar wheat salad but would do well with basmati rice or pasta. Diffenantly keep the sauce on the... side.Read more
