This recipe was offered by Rosemary from Vancouver, Canada and she says the ginger & lime marinade makes the salmon dance.
Maybe we should re-name this the "Dancing Salmon Salad"?
Okay, maybe not.
Marinade Ingredients;
1/4 c. non-fat plain yogurt.
2 Tbls. finely chopped fresh ginger.
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped.
2 Tbls. lime juice.
1 Tbls. freshly grated lime zest.
1 Tbls. honey.
1 Tbls. canola oil.
1/2 tsp. salt.
1/2 tsp. freshly ground pepper.
1 1/4 lbs. salmon fillet (about 1 inch thick), cut into 4 pieces, skin on, pin bones removed.
Lime wedges for garnish
Marinade Preparation;
1. Whisk together yogurt, ginger, garlic, lime juice, lime zest, honey, oil, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
And;
Place salmon in a shallow glass dish and pour the marinade over it, turning the salmon to coat on all sides.
Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes, turning once or twice.
2. Meanwhile, prepare a charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill.
***Note ~ Don't use a grill pan as salmon will stick.
3. Oil the grill rack.
Place the salmon, skin side up, on the grill.
Cook for 5 minutes.
Using 2 metal spatulas, carefully turn the grilled-salmon pieces over and cook just until opaque in the center, 4 to 6 minutes longer.
Remove the grilled-salmon.
Slip off the skin.
4. Toss Watercress & Pickled Ginger Salad with dressing and divide among 4 plates.
Top with a piece of grilled salmon.
Garnish with lime wedges.
Serve immediately.
