1 tbsp. fresh lime juice
2 tsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper
1/4 tsp. cumin
1 1/2 lb. skinless salmon filet, cut into 4 pieces

YOGURT SAUCE:

2 tsp. grated fresh ginger
1/4 tsp. minced garlic

1/4 tsp. cumin
3/4 c. plain non-fat yogurt
1 green onion, sliced thin
1 tbsp. chopped fresh mint
Dash red pepper sauce
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. freshly grated ground pepper

Combine all marinade in a small bowl. Place salmon in 10 inch microwave-proof pie plate. Brush each filet with marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Set aside.

YOGURT SAUCE: (Can be doubled.) Combine ginger, garlic, tomato, and cumin in 1 quart microwave bowl. Microwave on high 30 seconds, stir in remaining ingredients. Set aside.

Turn back one section of plastic wrap covering salmon. Microwave on high 2 minutes. Rotate plate, microwave 1-2 minutes. Rotate plate; microwave 1-2 minutes more, until fish is opaque. Let stand covered 2 minutes.

To serve, place salmon filets on 4 plates; spoon yogurt sauce on top. Garnish each filet with lime wedge and mint sprig.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.

This recipe is DIVINE. I made this for my husband twice and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. It is very Greek/Middle-Eastern/Indian in taste.
