Prep/Cook Time: 20 Minutes, Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1¼ pounds salmon fillet, cut into 4 portions
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  • ½ cup sliced cucumber
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons minced shallot
  • ½ cup low-fat plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon curry powder

Directions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high.
