Moroccan Grilled Salmon

By Dr_Mom

You can substitute another firm fish such as halibut if, like my husband, you really don't like salmon.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons low-fat or nonfat plain yogurt
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Preparation

Step 1

Combine yogurt, parsley, cilantro, lemon juice, oil, garlic, paprika, cumin, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the sauce; cover and refrigerate. Place salmon in a medium sealable plastic bag. Pour in the remaining yogurt mixture, seal the bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 10 (or up to 30) minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat grill to medium-high.
Oil the grill rack. Remove the salmon from the marinade, blotting any excess. Grill the salmon until it is browned and just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Top the salmon with the reserved sauce and garnish with lemon wedges.
