Grilled Salmon with a Cilantro Mint Sauce

Salmon can be grilled with salt and pepper, and - done; wonderful.  But imagine if you pinged it up with a bit of coriander and dill.  And then served it with a BIG flavor accent cilantro and mint sauce and a simple quick couscous side.  Better yet, imagine the sauce and side were actually, really (I swear!), a couple of minutes each to prepare.

Dreaming?

1-1/2 lb salmon fillet, portioned in four servings
dash powdered coriander
dash dried dill weed
salt and fresh-ground pepper to taste

cilantro mint sauce

Heat a grill to high. Prepare cilantro mint sauce.

Season the salmon fillets with coriander, dill, salt and pepper.
Spray lightly with canola oil and grill flesh-side down for about 4-5 minutes. Do not touch the salmon, or it is likely to fall apart.

Stand away from the salmon and no one will get hurt.

Only when the salmon had crusted up a bit, gently coerce the salmon off the grill with a sharp spatula and flip. Cook another 3-4 minutes, depending on the thickness. Serve with cilantro mint sauce.

Serves 4.
