Grilled Salmon With Cucumber-Yogurt Salad

Submitted by ElizabethKnicely

"Make this recipe year-round by broiling the salmon instead of grilling it. Preheat the broiler and place a rack about 6 inched from the heat source. Broil the fish fro about 15 minutes, flipping over once. It should be lightly browned on both sides and should flake with a fork."

I always think cucumbers, yoghurt and dill were meant to be together, and salmon loves them all too! This was super yummy thank you.
