Grilled Salmon With Minted Cucumber Sauce
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 cup plain low-fat yogurt
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh or 1 teaspoon dried mint
- 1 medium cucumber, cubed, seeded, and peeled
- 4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless salmon fillets
- Fresh mint sprigs
- Place garlic, salt, pepper, and cumin in a mixing bowl; mash to a paste with the back of a wooden spoon. Add yogurt and mint; stir well. Stir in cucumber gently, and set mixture aside.
- Set up your grill for direct grilling, and preheat to high. Clean and oil grate (with vegetable oil).
- Lightly brush olive oil on both sides of fish fillets. Arrange fish on grate or place in grilling basket (the pieces should run diagonal to the grate), and grill about 3 minutes per side or until cooked to taste, rotating each piece 90 degrees after 1 1/2 minutes to create a crosshatch of grill marks.
- Spoon cucumber sauce over fish; garnish with mint. Serve immediately.
