Ingredients
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 4 x 6 ounce salmon fillets
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- ½ large cucumber, peeled and cut in ½-inch dice
- ¼ cup plain non-fat yogurt
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon dried dill
Directions
Combine the salt, paprika, cumin, thyme, and cayenne in a small bowl.
Rub the mixture all over the salmon.
Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat.
Add the salmon and cook 5 minutes on each side, or until barely translucent in the center.
While the fish is cooking, combine the cucumber, yogurt, lemon juice and dill in a bowl; let stand at room temperature to allow the flavors to develop.
Serve each piece of salmon with a dollop of the cucumber salsa.
