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.

This was very easy and the finished product was moist and tasty. I actually broiled it on convection broil for 5 minutes and did not flip. Next time will do 3 minutes a side. I did add more salt and more pepper.

Recipe was followed but I found it not tasty enough, lacked flavor and too tart from the lemon and yogurt . As I blended the sauce I continually tasted it. I marinated the salmon as written but altered the reserved sauce. Adding minced scallions, cherry tomatoes and a dash of curry, white pepper and minced parsley. The result was much more colorful and had much more flavor. Be careful not to over cook the salmon since the lemon and yogurt has already started to "cook" during the marinade process.
