Food Friday-Yogurt Marinated Grilled Salmon

Yogurt Marinated Grilled Salmon

What better thing to pair all those fresh veggies with than a delicious piece of grilled salmon.  

I came across this recipe while I was at Whole Food and not only was it amazingly good but it was super easy and very healthy. 

Ingredients:

1 cup plain low-fat or non-fat yogurt (I used goat yogurt as we don't do a ton of cow dairy) 

1 tablespoon Siracha sauce

4 (6 oz) pieces of skinless salmon fillet

oil spray for the grill or olive oil

1/3 cup chopped cilantro leaves (I actually substituted fresh dill as that is what we have in our herb garden) 

1 lime cut into wedges. 

The How: 

Whisk yogurt and Siracha in a large bowl. Add the salmon and turn to coat.  Refrigerate for up to 8 hours. I was only able to refrigerate mine for 4 and it was still amazing. This is however a dish you can prep on a Sunday and have ready for a simple yummy dinner on Monday night. 

Prepare grill for medium heat. Oil the grill. Take the salmon out of the yogurt mixture.  You will want to discard the excess mixture.  Arrange salmon on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes then turn over and continue grilling until salmon is cooked through.  About another 4-5 minutes. 

Transfer cooked salmon to plates and serve with a little sprinkle of cilantro or dill and serve with fresh lime wedges. 

You could pair this with a coconut lime cauliflower rice, a mixed green salad or even the fiery wok green beans from my post on the Bend Adventure Boot Camp Facebook page.  Check it out here.
