Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets (skinless)

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (unsweetened)

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tbsp garlic, minced

  • 1 tbsp ginger, minced

  • 1 tsp ground cumin

  • 1 tsp ground coriander

  • 1/2 tsp turmeric

  • 1/2 tsp paprika

  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Preparation

  1. Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, cinnamon, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir well until smooth.

  2. Marinate the salmon: Cut the salmon fillets into bite-sized chunks and place them in the marinade. Toss gently to coat the salmon with the yogurt mixture. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, to allow the flavors to meld.

  3. Cook the salmon: Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill or pan to prevent sticking. Grill the salmon for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fish is fully cooked and flakes easily with a fork.

  4. Serve: Remove the salmon from the grill and garnish with fresh cilantro and lemon wedges. Serve immediately with a side of steamed vegetables, quinoa, or a fresh salad for a complete heart-healthy meal.
