4 (6 oz) skinless salmon fillets (about 1-inch thick)
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/8 - 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (to taste)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 Tbsp olive oil

1/2 cup packed cilantro (mostly leaves, some stem)
1 1/2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
1 clove garlic (sliced)
Fremgangsmåte
For the sauce:
Add Greek yogurt, green onions, cilantro, lime juice, garlic and season with salt to taste (about 1/4 tsp).
Process until cilantro has been very finely minced. Set aside at room temperature while preparing salmon.
For the salmon:
In a small bowl whisk together cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, 1/2 - 3/4 tsp salt (depending on how salty you like things) and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
Dab both sides of salmon dry with paper towels, season both sides evenly with cumin mixture and lightly rub over salmon. Heat a (heavy) 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add oil and once oil is shimmering add salmon (top side down first. Also leave space between fillets) and cook about 4 minutes, without moving, until golden brown on bottom.
Flip and cook salmon on opposite side until salmon has cooked through, about 2 - 3 minutes longer. Serve warm with Creamy Cilantro Lime Sauce.
