• portions: 4 servings
• temps actif: 10 minutes
• temps total: 18 minutes

Ingrédients

4 (6 oz) skinless salmon fillets (about 1-inch thick)

1 tsp ground cumin

1/2 tsp ground coriander

1/8 - 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (to taste)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 Tbsp olive oil

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 green onions (end trimmed, roughly chopped)

1/2 cup packed cilantro (mostly leaves, some stem)

1 1/2 Tbsp fresh lime juice

1 clove garlic (sliced)

Instructions

For the sauce:

Add Greek yogurt, green onions, cilantro, lime juice, garlic and season with salt to taste (about 1/4 tsp).

Process until cilantro has been very finely minced. Set aside at room temperature while preparing salmon.

For the salmon:

In a small bowl whisk together cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, 1/2 - 3/4 tsp salt (depending on how salty you like things) and 1/2 tsp black pepper.

Dab both sides of salmon dry with paper towels, season both sides evenly with cumin mixture and lightly rub over salmon. Heat a (heavy) 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Add oil and once oil is shimmering add salmon (top side down first. Also leave space between fillets) and cook about 4 minutes, without moving, until golden brown on bottom.

Flip and cook salmon on opposite side until salmon has cooked through, about 2 - 3 minutes longer. Serve warm with Creamy Cilantro Lime Sauce.
