Ingredients
Salmon Fillets (with skin)
1 1/2 lbs (Divide into 4 fillets)
Plain Yogurt
1/4 cup (None)
Lemon Juice

Instructions
1
Begin by placing the salmon fillets in a shallow dish to marinate.
2
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the plain yogurt, freshly squeezed lemon juice, mild curry paste, and a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined.
3
Pour the yogurt mixture over the salmon fillets, ensuring that they are well-coated. Allow to marinate for at least 10 minutes for optimal flavor.
4
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly grease the grates to prevent sticking.
5
Carefully remove the salmon fillets from the marinade, reserving the leftover marinade for later use. Place the fillets on the grill skin-side down.
6
Close the grill lid and cook the salmon for about 10 minutes per inch (2.5 cm) of thickness. Halfway through grilling, turn the fillets and brush both sides with the reserved yogurt mixture to enhance flavor.
7
The salmon is done when it becomes opaque and flakes easily with a fork. This typically takes about 10-15 minutes.
8
Once cooked, remove the salmon from the grill and serve immediately, garnished with freshly chopped coriander for a burst of flavor.
