Ingredients

1/2 cup plain yogurt
Juice of 1 lemon, plus lemon wedges for garnish
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for the grill
2 to 3 cloves garlic, smashed
1 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 6-ounce skinless center-cut salmon fillets
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish

Directions

Stir together the yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, coriander, cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a small bowl. Pour half of the sauce into a large resealable plastic bag; cover and refrigerate the remaining sauce. Add the salmon to the bag and turn to coat with the marinade. Refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes, turning the bag over once.

Preheat a grill to medium-high. Remove the salmon from the marinade and blot off excess yogurt with paper towels. Lightly oil the grill and add the salmon; cook, turning once, until browned on the outside and opaque in the center, 4 to 6 minutes per side, depending on the thickness. Serve with the reserved yogurt sauce and garnish with the herbs and lemon wedges.

Not enough spice
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I liked this salmon except that I found that I couldn't taste enough of the spices in my marinade. I used what the recipe... called for so I'm not sure what happened. I think I was expecting a "pop" of cumin and coriander, and then I could only barely taste them. Otherwise, it was cooked perfectly and I love salmon so I ate it up. I served it with couscous and a cucumber and tomato salad which were the perfect combo for this dish.Read more

Simply Divine
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This dish is absolutely divine. The sauce is simple to make, but the flavor is bold and wonderful. I'm sure it would be... great with chicken too. I will definitely make it again! Read more

Great Flavors
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this dish for my boyfriend and his sister and they both raved about the wonderful flavors that married so well. I... think next time I will use a bit more coriander, as it got a little lost in the cumin. Overall, this is an excellent and quick meal to make even on a work day. Read more

Flavorful and Easy
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

My husband absolutely loved this salmon. I didn't need additional sauce on mine, but my husband dipped his in it. I might try... baking it next time as the marinade made the salmon stick to the grill pretty badly. It kind of fell apart when I tried to turn it. I'll definitely be making this again, though.Read more

Love this sauce

This sauce is tangy and delicious. It was great with the salmon. I made it again and put it on some chicken and popped it in... a pita. So flavorful! Read more

Easy and delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was quite easy to make. The results were excellent. Even the salmon hold-out in the family enjoyed it. I found the... quantity of yogurt sauce to be just right. The half piece of left over salmon was excellent the next day mixed in with a mixed pepper salad.Read more
