Ingredients

Servings

For the Salmon:

  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper ground
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt sea salt
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 4 wild salmon fillet skin on, 4-oz

For the Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt obviously the honey kind will make your sauce sweeter, so keep that in mind, plain or honey
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha or to taste (you can sub any hot sauce that you like)
  • 2 cloves garlic smashed and minced
  • 1 & 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 1 & 1/2 teaspoons cumin ground
  • salt Kosher salt and freshly ground, to taste
  • black pepper Kosher salt and freshly ground, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine paprika, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper, and sea salt. Rub the mixture evenly on the tops of the salmon fillets, gently pressing mixture in to make sure it sticks. I usually have a little extra that I rub onto the bottom side too.
  2. Heat a grill pan or skillet on medium-high heat and add olive oil. When oil begins to shimmer, add salmon, skin side up, and cook for 2 minutes. Turn and cook skin side down, until salmon is opaque throughout, about another 5 minutes. You can gently remove skin by using a spatula if you want..I never thought I'd say this but I like to leave it on.

For the Sauce:

  1. Combine all sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Serve over salmon.

Notes

  • Source: Salmon lightly adapted from Multiply Delicious; sauce adapted from the Food Network.
