This is a dish we picked up in Turkey where they love to spice their grilled meats and fish. You can cook your salmon directly on the grill but a metal grill basket is even better to hold the fish while they cook.

Serves

Ingredients

2 boneless salmon fillets or steaks

1 Cup of Fresh cilantro

3 Large spoons of Extra virgin olive oil

1/2 Lemon juice

2 Cloves of Garlic, minced

1 Generous pinch of ground coriander

1 Generous pinch of Fresh ginger, peeled and minced

1 Generous pinch of ground cinnamon

1 Generous pinch of ground cardamom

Generous pinch of Kosher salt

Generous pinch of Black Pepper

Prep / Directions:

Puree the oil and all the ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth. Arrange the salmon fillets on a platter or small pan. Pour the marinade over the fish, turning to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Preheat the grill. Cook the salmon pieces carefully on the grill for about 4 minutes per side. Serve with rice or roasted potatoes and grilled corn.
