American Grilled Salmon
Ingredients
¼ cup low-fat or nonfat plain yogurt
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ teaspoons SmokeeJo’s Hungarian Game spice (or paprika if not available)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 pound center-cut salmon fillet, cut into 4 portions
1 lemon, cut into wedges
Preparation
Stir together yogurt, parsley, cilantro, lemon juice, oil, garlic, game spice, cumin, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Reserve ¼ cup for finishing sauce; cover and refrigerate. Place salmon fillets in a large sealable plastic bag. Pour in the remaining herb mixture, seal the bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes, turning the bag over once.
