Indian Spiced Salmon

This is a great spice rub (enough difference from our favorite Maple Spiced Salmon) and is tasty without the yogurt sauce (personally, I prefer it with though).  The salmon can be grilled or roasted too for flexibility in cooking outdoors or inside.

 

Indian Spiced Salmon

(modified from original recipe from Cooking Light)

Serves 4

  • 4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets ~ 1 inch thick
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper/cayenne
  • 2/3 cup plain fat-free Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (or parsley if you are not a cilantro fan)

Prepare grill for medium heat.

Brush salmon evenly with juice. Combine salt and next five ingredients (salt – red pepper) in a small bowl and sprinkle evenly over the salmon. Grill salmon for 6 minutes on each side, or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.

Combine yogurt and cilantro/parsley in a small bowl and serve with the salmon.
