Moroccan Marinated Salmon with Tabouli Salad

Moroccan Marinated Salmon
1/2 cup plain yogurt
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more for cooking
2-3 cloves garlic, smashed
1 ½ teaspoons ground coriander
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4- 6 ounce salmon fillets, center cut, boneless and skinless

Stir together the yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, coriander, cumin, ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl. Pour half of the sauce into a large resealable plastic bag; cover and refrigerate the remaining sauce.

Add the salmon to the bag and turn to coat with the marinade. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, turning the bag once. Preheat grill or sauté pan to medium high. Remove the salmon from the marinade and blot off excess with paper towels.

Lightly oil grill or pan and add the salmon; cook, turning once until browned on the outside and opaque in the center about 4-6 minutes per side depending on the thickness. Serve with the reserved yogurt sauce and Tabouli Salad.
